CLEAN Carwash Worker Center

CLEAN Carwash Worker Center CLEAN is the country’s first carwash worker center, transforming the lives of thousands of carwasherx

In LA County, an estimated 500 carwashes employ around 10,000 carwasherxs. Car washes are a part of the vast underground economy in car-centric cities across California. Many car washes fail to follow basic labor, health, and safety laws. Long hours in the heat, abrasive and toxic chemicals, and no drinking water or refusal of rest breaks are commonplace in car wash businesses. Carwasherxs, or car

wash workers, are rarely paid the minimum wage. Many also report working solely for tips -- a flagrant violation of local and federal labor laws. Despite this increasingly hostile environment, carwasherxs are fighting resiliently to change the industry for good. Through direct organizing at CLEAN, carwasherxs lead outreach and advocacy efforts around job safety, workplace hazards, wage and hour laws, environmental protection, and community health initiatives. CLEAN unites carwasherxs to a growing and innovative worker center movement whose aim is to improve the quality of life for all Angelenos.

We sincerely thank for their efforts in organizing Immigrant Day. This year, family members of car wash workers who were unjustly separated from their loved ones by federal agents joined us.

The ongoing attacks against our community aimed to create fear, but these same attacks have motivated future generations and others to stand up and push for change in our communities.

Agradecemos sinceramente a por sus esfuerzos en la organización del Día del Inmigrante. Este año, miembros de familia de carwasherxs que fueron separados injustamente de sus seres queridos por agentes federales se unieron a nosotros.

Los ataques en contra nuestra comunidad tenían como objetivo crear miedo, pero estos mismos ataques han motivado a las generaciones futuras y a otros a ponerse de pie y presionar por el cambio en nuestras comunidades.
