Don’t let Nova throw away the futures of 350 families this holiday season! Come to the March this Wednesday at Noon

he janitors at Nova work hard cleaning and tending for Nova’s campuses T every day. For their diligent work, they are paid as little as $6.50 an hour and receive no health insurance.

The janitors are working to improve their jobs and their families’ future. Nova should share the holiday spirit with the entire Nova community by protecting the janitors’ jobs instead of standing in the way of hundreds of families joining UM and FIU workers who won better jobs and a brighter future.
