Simonize Car Wash Workers Need YOUR Help!

Feb 1 2008 - 8:00am
 

For the past three years, workers at Simonize Car Wash in Everett have been exposed to hazardous chemicals without appropriate training and protective equipment...

In addition to these health and safety concerns, workers have been victimized by the unfair practices of managers and supervisors. After coming together with MassCOSH and beginning to organize, 5 workers have been fired and others have had their hours cut. Those who still have their jobs are constantly concerned about discrimination and retaliation by managers!

Let owner John Lozzi know that you support their efforts to organize for fair, safe and healthy working conditions!

It will take just ONE MINUTE of your time... we ask you to participate our CALL IN-- taking place Friday, February 1st ALL DAY! Call Simoniz Car Wash owner John Lozzi (pronounced: Low-zee) and let him know you support organizing workers! Reach him at:
