VISTA, California—Laundry workers at the Prudential Overall Supply plant here voted April 25 to unionize. The workers will be represented by UNITE HERE.

Last September workers went on strike over unfair labor practices by management and won broad solidarity for their fight. “The new members of UNITE HERE will be there in San Diego on May 1. It’s International Workers Day—it’s our day,” Hugo Camacho, a UNITE HERE organizer, told the Militant. Camacho said that workers from the Vista facility will be forming a contingent in the San Diego march.

Elias Maturano, a worker at the plant, told the Militant, “We are very happy to celebrate our victory for a union with everyone, all workers.”
