Justice for ServiceMaster Janitors

Janitors in downtown Portland work for Servicemaster of Swan Island (NYSE:SVM) cleaning the Rose Garden, Memorial Coliseum and buildings owned by local real estate firm Melvin Mark Companies. Forced to work part-time without health insurance, many of these janitors earn only about 28 dollars a day. Most are immigrants from Latin America and other parts of the world.
