Rep. Green (D-TX) Raises Plight of Janitors, Says "Too Small to Live Off"
WASHINGTON, June 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being released by the Service Employees International Union:
Earlier today, following JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's testimony in front of the House Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Committee regarding his company's recent massive banking loss, Adriana Vasquez, a janitor who cleans the JP Morgan Chase tower in Houston, Texas confronted him with a simple question: "Despite making billions last year, why do you deny the people cleaning your buildings a living wage?"
Dimon evaded Adriana's question but told her to, "Call his office," to arrange a meeting.
Each night, Vasquez cleans 24 bathrooms across 11 floors in the JP Morgan Chase tower in downtown Houston. "I work hard each and every day scrubbing 24 bathrooms just to support my children, to keep food on the table and a roof over my head – but it still isn't enough," explained Vasquez. "I traveled to Washington, DC to confront Jamie Dimon because it is not acceptable that while he makes billions, he denies the people cleaning his buildings a living wage."

Dimon is afforded exclusive access to all people political - not so for most Americans.
