While Sodexo is best known for its food services, the company also operates in other industries around the world, including laundry services for hospitals and institutions.

Recently Sodexo workers and community members have been standing up for their rights and safe working conditions from Sodexo. Watch the video below of highlights from a rally held at the Cleveland Sodexo laundry facilities, with Sodexo worker interviews and local leaders speaking out:

Workers called for justice from Sodexo management in the lobby of the Sodexo building, many of whom are fighting for safer working conditions, training on handling biohazard products, greater availability of water in hot conditions, and the freedom to form a union to have a collective voice.

Since 2005, laundry facilities in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo have received citations from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration for serious or repeat violations that could put their workers at risk of injury or death.

"It's just shameful what is going on here," State Representative Mike Foley said to the crowd outside at the rally. "The working conditions, the lack of wages... it is shameful."
