Janitors at the Boston offices of WeWork Companies Inc., a New York-based co-working space company with a $10 billion valuation, are staging a rally Monday afternoon to promote "fair pay."

The event, called "Rally for Good Cleaning Jobs at WeWork," is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. outside the WeWork South Station location at 745 Atlantic Ave., and is being organized by 32BJ, a property service worker's union with 18,000 members in Massachusetts.

Janitors who clean WeWork's offices in Boston are being paid about $10 an hour with "few, if any, meaningful benefits," according to a release from 32BJ. They're advocating for similar office-space cleaning jobs that get paid $17 an hour.

From their release:

WeWork, the hip co-working start-up, valued at $10 billion by investors, likes to brand itself as 'a space, community, and services you need to make a life, not just a living.' Apparently, in Boston this doesn’t apply to the contracted cleaners who pick up after the darling of the sharing economy who will be rallying in the Financial District on Monday to tell WeWork to use a responsible cleaning contractor that pays fair wages that meet the industry standard.
