Help Janitors At Yahoo Suffering From Capitalist Oppression!!!
Over the past two months, janitors who clean the Yahoo! office in San Jose,
California, have been the target of an intense campaign of fear and
intimidation in response to their attempts to raise wages, secure health
care, and have a voice at work by joining the Service Employees
International Union.

**Justice for Janitors at Yahoo!**
Over the past two months, janitors who clean the Yahoo! office in San Jose,
California, have been the target of an intense campaign of fear and
intimidation in response to their attempts to raise wages, secure health
care, and have a voice at work by joining the Service Employees
International Union.
Most janitors at Yahoo! earn about $16,000 a year and have no health
insurance for themselves and their families.
"I feel bad when I walk around Yahoo!," says Francisco Casteneda, Yahoo!
janitor. "I can see that Yahoo! has money, but they don't ensure that we are
paid well, and we don't have health care for our families."
** GET INVOLVED **
-Send a letter to Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel and ask that Yahoo's cleaning
sub-contractor, Team Services, meets industry standards and follows federal
labor law. Yahoo! janitors want to provide high quality standards and
services, but they also want respect on the job.

by the janitors to dramatize their efforts to secure decent wages and basic
benefits.
