Nashville, Tennessee – On August 2nd, we reported that Nashville Antifa together with Workers’ Dignity (Dignidad Obrera) and a broad coalition of community activists participated in an action in front of the Nashville West location of Target. This store contracted an outside agency called “Diversified Maintenance” to clean the store. Diversified Maintenance had not paid the workers for their work to date and several thousand dollars were owed to these individuals. Additional actions were planned, including a protest on Sunday, August 20th at a similar Target store location.
Workers’ Dignity reports that the workers’ wages have been paid in full and released the following statement from the workers’:
Victory.
Hi everyone, we inform you that the action for Sunday, August 20 was canceled as payment was made by Diversified Maintenance System. We are very grateful to all of you who are part of the Dignidad Obrera family Thank you to the promoters, volunteers, Allies and other workers who participated in each activity for this fight.
We were working in the cleaning area at the Target, Kohl and Home Depot stores at dawn contracted by Diversified Maintenance System.
After several attempts to recover our salary, together with Dignidad Obrera, we were able to achieve them. We would like to communicate to every worker who is frustrated by some employer or company who have not paid him, who are not solxs, so there is Dignidad Obrera that has a process Which teaches us how to recover a wage theft. They give us the tools of how to do it. The worker depends on the struggle,
There are no longer excuses for a wage theft. “If you want you can”.
Victoria.
