Here is a brief description:
   More than one and a half years after a Cintas worker was killed on the job, the Cincinnati based company still hasn't done enough to make its laundries safe. Join hundreds of inured cintas workers, union members, and community allies at the company's annual shareholder meeting in October.

Cintas has a very large hispanic community working for them. Most of the materials we have are in english and spanish; I never realized how many hispanic people worked there. This company has been using union busting techniques to break up the workers and consistently not improving the work conditions. We are going mainly to show solidarity with the workers. Also we have a special tie to the cause because our very own Richard T. Farmer is the chairman for Cintas, I think it's important that Miami acknowledges his bad business practices.

Thank you
