Living Wage and Social Equity


Living Wage: Along with the emergence of sustainability and the green cleaning movement, the issue of how janitorial workers are compensated for their work has come to the fore. Labor unions believe that a liability exists for green organizations that neglect to provide appropriate working conditions for their own employees. Among issues that define appropriate working conditions are health benefits, sick time, personal time, extended leave of absence, and living wage.

And Social Equity: Ealima Cleaning Company has been working closely with SEIU Local 615 to ensure that our employees work in an environment where they are both treated fairly and recognized for their hard work.
