Jada Camille at AMNY reports a group of 44 contracted Cleaners employed by Nelson Service Systems have walked off the job at six Con Edison locations in Manhattan. Their bold move comes in response to accusations of Unfair Labor Practices (ULPs) against their employer, filed with the National Labor Relations Board by 32BJ SEIU (Service Employees International Union), one of New York's leading Labor Unions. Workers allege Nelson retaliated against them for their Union activities by enforcing a new, restrictive dress code, igniting a rallying cry for fair treatment and solidarity. The Workers allege they face daunting challenges in their daily tasks - lifting heavy items and ensuring cleanliness in high-traffic areas - and they also receive minimal compensation, as well as lack basic benefits such as health insurance.
