Will County News: WWJ Surveys Warehouse Workers
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010JOLIET–The group Warehouse Workers for Justice are investigating working conditions in Will County Warehouses. Warehouse Workers for Justice are clear about their goals: They want a living wage for warehouse workers and enforcement of already existing labor laws.
Speaking recently after a meeting of the Interfaith Action Committee, the members said that after a Martin Luther King event last year, the faith community was drawn “into the struggle for warehouse justice.”
It will take a broad base of warehouse workers to make the changes happen, the members said. “The only way to push back is with a broad based organization.”
