Janitors discuss their struggle for $15, healthcare and safe workloads

Janitors working in Portland's big office buildings and at Intel in Hillsboro are represented by the Service Employees local 49.  On June 15 they held a spirited rally and march through downtown.  On June 30, their union contract expires.  The janitors are demanding a $15 wage, affordable healthcare and safe workloads.  Co-hosts Jamie Partridge and John Walsh interview a local janitor about their struggle for justice.
