Title A name given to the resource "Voices That Must Be Heard" Articles Description An account of the resource The Independent Press Association (IPA) translates articles from the ethnic press (when necessary) and distributes them via web and fax newsletter to mainstream and ethnic press, government offices, nonprofits, and interested individuals. Voices That Must be Heard was designed by the Independent Press Association staff in New York City in response to the horrifying events of September 11. After Sept. 11th, Voices focused on the South Asian, Arab and Middle Eastern communities in New York. Since February 2002, the project has expanded, selecting articles from the broad range of ethnic and community newspapers throughout the city. Here, the Archive has preserved the Voices collection from its inception until November 2002.

We are protesting to force Planned Building Services and Sunbright to obey the law, stop their abusive behavior, stop intimidating us and because we want to improve salaries and benefits, said María Díaz, a member of the Newark-based union. The unions protest began yesterday at 7:00 p.m. in front of 111 River Street, a downtown Hoboken building cleaned by Sunbright Services Building Services. The National Labor Relations Board is currently investigating allegations that both contractors threatened, fired and retaliated against unionized workers seeking better working conditions. Contractors who violate the law will not be tolerated, said Michael P. Fishman, president of Local 32BJ. These brave protestors are sending a clear message that they will fight for their right to be treated with respect and organize for a better life out of poverty. Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union represents more than 70,000 building service workers office cleaners, maintenance workers, superintendents, doormen, stadium and movie theatre cleaners throughout the tri-state area.
