Laundromat workers walk out the job to protest the current working conditions. On the commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, November 25, 2020 a group of seven laundromat workers in New York City, confronted their employer at Wash Supply in Manhattan, alleging abuses of labor law and labor rights. These women have been designated essential workers and their labor makes it possible for people on Manhattans Upper West Side to have their clothes cleaned.
