protest gubernatorial debate at NOVA on tuesday

NO DEBATE ABOUT IT

The Gubernatorial debate should not be held at Nova Southeastern University, an institution that is on the verge of throwing 350 hardworking janitors, landscapers, maintenance workers, and shuttle bus drivers out of their jobs.

This Tuesday, gubernatorial candidates are set to face off in a debate about Florida's future for its families, working people, and communities.

But at Nova, 350 working families may soon be left destitute as Nova has said it is canceling its contract with UNICCO, the cleaning contractor that employs the workers. Nova refuses to commit to retaining the workers, or making sure the new contractor hires them.

The debate for Florida's highest office should be held at a public venue that respects working people, not a private institution which has denied improving jobs and working conditions for its mostly Latino and Haitian workforce.

WE CHALLENGE BOTH THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE WORKING PEOPLE OF FLORIDA.
