Cintas: Industries
built 237 days ago
Cintas is an industry giant that sets the standard in wages and benefits for uniform and laundry services, so a union victory here would have a tremendous impact in helping to organize smaller industrial laundries. This is why UNITE has launched an ambitious campaign to organize Cintas. In late June, the Teamsters signed on and announced that they would organize drivers.

"Cintas is a proven industry leader, and they run an impressive operation," said Gordon Brown, Ph.D, senior vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs at IDFA. "Cintas understands the food industry and the important role uniforms play in maintaining a sanitized work environment. They come highly recommended."

At the first scent of a union drive, Cintas goes for blood. "Cintas is taking union-busting to a new level," said Pete DeMay, a UNITE organizer in Chicago. "One of their first reactions to the union drive was to bring in what they call ‘industrial psychologists’ to interview people one-on-one to create the impression that if you want to raise your wages and benefits and get some respect at work, you must be crazy."
