SCARY WORKPLACE RALLY

When:

Janitors, security officers + airport workers —bring your best ghost story from the night shift! Costume Contest! All are welcome.

THE INFLATING OF THE RAT

When:
Where:Medical Dental Building

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.

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.
