High-rise Facility Cleaners Seek Safe and Affordable Parking

March 2, 2021

Cleaners for a luxury high-rise tower in downtown Miami are asking their employer to provide them with free parking in the building they service after a worker was attacked by a man near a public parking lot late at night, the Miami Herald reports.

The workers say they have been harassed by men shouting obscenities when they walk the four blocks to the public parking lot when their shift ends at 11 p.m. Earlier this year, one of the cleaners was attacked by a man who hit her with a parking cone.

The workers say that for several months they have been asking their employer to arrange for them to park onsite at the high-rise where they work. When they begin their part-time shifts the tower’s garage is nearly empty. Their employer offered them onsite parking for US$50 a month, but the workers, who earn $9 an hour, say that rate is too expensive.
