Angelica workers poised to strike

Workers at Angelica Laundry may launch a nationwide strike today as they struggle to win improvements in pay and working conditions. UNITE HERE, the union representing Angelica workers, has pledges of support from the SEIU and Teamsters. Fourteen of Angelica's 33 plants are in California. Workers complain of safety violations and say they handle dirty laundry contaminated with blood and feces without proper protections.
