Uniform Justice!

In September 2003, The Teamsters and UNITE HERE launched a bold new initiative called "Uniform Justice," that will support the Cintas workers' efforts to earn a living wage and decent benefits.

The joint organizing campaign is a historic alliance between the two unions as workers that deliver Cintas uniforms are seeking to become Teamsters members and production workers in the laundry facilities are seeking to become UNITE HERE members.

Visit www.uniformjustice.org for more information on the campaign.
