Building Benefits is a network of tenants working in downtown office buildings in DC. We support the efforts by janitors, security officers, and parking attendants in our buildings to win better pay, benefits, and working conditions by using our power as tenants.
History
In summer 2006, DC Jobs with Justice began working with tenants in downtown DC office buildings to support security officers in their buildings who were organizing a union to win better wages, benefits and working conditions. By December 2006, the DC Employment Justice Center and the Center for Law and Social Policy joined us, and the project’s goals broadened to include issues affecting all service workers in our buildings.
