Laundry and Cleaning

Industrial laundry machines, such as those used in Aramark laundry services, Toronto, Ontario

Uniforms, towels, and shop rags often require specialty laundry services. From large industrial machines to smaller detailed laundry services, Workers United members work in the laundry industry across Canada and the United States. Health and safety for laundry workers has been a long fought struggle for workers in this industry; being part of Workers United has helped bring laundry workers together to demand safer working standards.

Cleaners at colleges, factories and retirement homes are members of Workers United. Cleaning service is often under-appreciated and invisible work, with people working through the nights to clean schools and office buildings. Having a union for cleaners has meant winning fair pay, better working conditions and appreciation for the demanding work cleaners do everyday.
