Justice for Janitors Overview
What is Justice for Janitors?
Justice for Janitors (J4J) is a workers' movement with broad-based support from the public as well as religious, political and community leaders.
Together we work to provide better wages, benefits, and job security for janitors who clean luxurious buildings yet make poverty wages. For over twenty years SEIU's J4J movement has helped low-wage workers achieve respect at work and build a better future for their families.
J4J in Toronto
Improving conditions for workers in Toronto's fast growing cleaning sector requires that industry leaders, politicians, janitors, and the community come together to build a comprehensive strategy that changes the race to the bottom for Toronto's cleaners.
Nearly 1000 janitors in Toronto have already united under the Justice for Janitors banner. However, suspect employer practices are driving down standards, putting workers at risk and creating unfair obstacles for working families who want to build a better future.
J4J is reaching out to community leaders so that together we can transform poverty-wage jobs in our communities into jobs with a future for working families. Together Toronto can do better.
