Stand With Spelman College’s Janitorial Workers

From our colleagues at Workers United Southern Region:

On June 30, Spelman College changed its campus cleaning contractor from Aramark Corporation to Integrity National Corporation.

The longtime Spelman janitorial workers employed by Aramark had a union contract, and many had worked on the campus for more than 15 years. When Integrity took over, almost none of these experienced workers were hired.

Thirty-five workers lost their jobs. Most are African-American women.

Along with their jobs, workers lost their seniority and the wages and benefits they had earned through their union contract.

Spelman College can make this right.

Please join students, parents, alumnae, faculty, staff and community supporters in calling on Spelman to provide justice for these displaced workers and establish permanent protections for contracted workers on campus.
