A group of about 200 custodial workers marched in Irvine on Friday afternoon in support of worker’s rights and to spread awareness about the sexual assault of female janitors during night shifts.
The sound of the drums and chants reverberated through the business lot, attracting onlookers who filmed with their phones. The low-income workers marched through the shadow of the buildings where many of them work, such as the Equinox gym, where Porsches and Teslas were parked out front. The event was organized by Service Employees International Union United Service Workers West as part of a contract campaign for 25,000 janitors across California. It was organized ahead of International Women’s Day on Sunday.
Ruth Priego of Santa Ana said she witnessed the beating of a female colleague by an armed man during a night shift last year. Priego, who’s worked as a janitor in Orange County for 20 years, said the incident is in her mind every day.
If the legal system doesn’t start holding people accountable for wrong doing it will not stop! These abusers ruin lives & all the legal system worries about is how the abuser will feel or public shame! The wrong doers made a choice, in doing so need to pay with consequences!
FuzzySkeptic it isn't issue in our country.
