    May 11, 2018

    LOS ANGELES — SEIU United Service Workers West janitors in the Bay area, Orange County, and Los Angeles approved tonight a new contract covering wages and protocols against sexual harassment and assault.

    exposing widespread sexual harassment and rape of nightshift janitors in LA office buildings. As the union began showing the film and creating
    safe space for janitors to talk about their experiences, it became clear that members of USWW had experienced rape and violence on the job.
