THE INFLATING OF THE RAT

When:
Where:Medical Dental Building
509 Olive St, Seattle WA
OUTSIDE

Seattle janitors have organized for decades to raise industry standards. Non-union companies like Synergy Building Services offer less—no employer paid full family medical & dental, no collective bargaining agreement, no voice on the job.

Join us on May Day at 509 Olive Way in downtown Seattle for the Inflating of the Rat, in which we let Synergy know that janitors deserve better.

STREET THEATER

When:
Where:Medical Dental Building
509 Olive St, Seattle WA
OUTSIDE

Join us for a street theater production called ‘Doctor, Doctor, I Have No Medical!’ created by our Worker Power School.

The play is a creative reimagining of the real-life problems non-union companies like Synergy Building Services heap on the backs of janitors, like poor healthcare, abusive workloads, and no voice on the job…A must-see for anyone who cares about the Medical Dental Building or just basic human rights.

When we fight, we win!

Contract Negotiations Begins for SeaTac Passenger Service Workers

When:
Where:Ste 102, SeaTac, WA 98188

SeaTac workers made history in 2013 when we joined together to pass Proposition 1, which raised the minimum wage to $15/hour and ensured union rights at the airport. We not only sparked a national movement for higher wages, we also raised the standards for our families and our communities. Money that would have gone to the top in profits would now stay in the hands of the workers. 

SeaTac passenger service workers are key to our region’s economy. In 2017, passenger service workers:

  • Served nearly 47 million passengers arriving and     departing on 416,124 aircraft
  • Contributed an estimated $22.5 billion in economic activity in Washington State
  • Created an estimated $274 million in economic activity in the City of Tukwila
  • Contributed an estimated $138 million in economic activity in the City of Burien

We are stronger together.
