Tell Maximus Coffee to Treat its Workers Fairly! (on strike sign the E petition)


http://voiceactivated.ufcw.org/page/s/maximus-workers



After being told that the company wanted to drastically cut their wages, retirement benefits, and overtime pay, 250 Maximus Coffee workers - who knew they had nothing left to lose - were forced into the street to protect their jobs.

These unfair cuts punish loyal workers and attack good, middle class jobs in Houston.

Many of the workers, who are mostly members of UFCW Local 455, have worked at Maximus for years, and instead of being rewarded, they are now seeing their livelihoods threatened.

It’s not right. It’s just plain corporate greed, and workers know it.

Help us send a message to Maximus to treat its workers fairly – sign the petition below!
