Join Tenants and Boston City Council in Supporting Contracted Janitors at 31 St. James
The hardworking contracted janitors that clean 3TSt. James face losing their jobs this Friday due to no fault of their own, even though many of them have worked here for years. The building owner has decided to hire an irresponsible contractor who has made no commitment to offer these workers the opportunity for continued employment.
Please help ensure that the contracted janitors at 31 St. James can provide
for their families. Join the 150 tenants, visitors, and members of the
Boston City Council in voicing your support for these workers.
"If they could take a moment to walk in our shoes, and let us keep what little we have, that would mean a lot."
Rosa Garcia (pictured left with two grandchildren) is one of the con
tracted janitors at 31 St. James that faces losing their jobs on Friday.
She is the legal guardian of her 6 grandchildren, and also supports her
mother. She was laid off from her second job at a clothing factory when it went bankrupt last year, and now relies soiely on her job at 31 St. James Street to support her family. Rosa worries that her family's home in Lynn will be foreclosed on if she loses her job at 31 St. James. "This job feeds my family," Rosa says. "I may not be able to buy everything my grandchildren want, but at least with this income, I can afford the things they need to survive."
"I'm already struggling to provide for my family. My children need food, clothes, and money for school expenses. I don't know how I will support my kids if Hose this job."
Claudia Chavez (pictured right) has worked at 31 St. James for 8 years. She is worried about how she will support her 10 year-old son and 4 year-old daughter if she loses her job on Friday. Claudia's family is already having difficulty making ends meet because she recently had to pay $3,200 out-of-pocket for treatment for a dental infection, which is three and a half months worth of rent.
