Janitors at major California supermarkets are using strong cleaning chemicals without basic safety equipment or training. In addition to putting workers’ health at risk, these chemicals may not be safe to use around the food our families buy and eat from the markets. We call on supermarkets to guarantee quality jobs, safe food, and healthy communities.
