The janitors also want supervisors to require Nova, the county contractor they work for, to honor a new county labor policy and recognize their union.
County janitors who were fired amid a labor dispute with the contractor they work for have been reinstated after a county investigation upheld an employee’s complaint of unsafe work conditions and retaliation.last week, then agreed to return to work after county officials pledged to investigate.
The strike was prompted by a complaint by Sofia Martinez, a janitor who said she was forced to work an eight-hour shift last month on her hands and knees using floor-stripping solution with no mask, gloves or goggles. She said she suffered back pain, nosebleeds and eye irritation in the following days, causing her to miss work, and was fired weeks later, along with three other janitors.
Anglin confirmed that Martinez and the three other fired employees had been rehired. She said Nova had taken over the contract for the administration center late last year for a previous contractor and is working with the county to answer additional questions.SEIU-USWW policy director Christian Ramirez said a majority of the janitors had agreed to form a union, but their employer has not recognized it yet. Nova must choose whether to voluntarily recognize the union or call for a formal election.
