From the UNITE HERE!/SEIU Press Advisory:

Oct. 4, 2007

The people who cook and serve food to the most successful executives in the valley, as well as the workers who clean and secure their corporate campuses rally to ask their customers for help.

Service workers from UNITE HERE and SEIU unions and non-union workers in the hospitality and buildings services industries are asking their customers to intervene with the high tech and bio tech companies they work for. Many of the workers struggle to survive and provide for their families. Workers are asking their customers at places such as Applied Materials, Genentech, Electronic Arts, Beckman Coulter, Sun Microsystems, Adobe, WebEx, Broadcom, Tyco Electronics and other corporate giants, to tell the valley’s top companies to take responsibility for the conditions workers face on their campuses. Hundreds rally to ask corporate leaders to adopt a Code of Conduct for their service contractors.
