We have received written confirmation from WeWork's new head of HR that all outsourced cleaning and facilities employees “will receive a one-time lump sum payment equal to what they would have received as a 401(k) match for this year.”

All other employees who have been or will be terminated before December 31, 2019 will forfeit all of this year’s matching contribution if they start a new job before the end of the year, or if their “garden leave” period is terminated for any other reason.

We believe these changes wouldn’t have happened if workers didn’t come together and speak out against unfair treatment. We think this shows that real change can happen when workers demand it. Thank you for supporting us and amplifying our voice.

Last night, WeWork made an abrupt change to the employment status of the building and maintenance staff who just last week were told that they had to accept job offers from WeWork’s chosen contractors or else would be considered to have voluntarily resigned from their jobs.

The WeWorkers Coalition will be contacting affected employees this weekend to clarify the letter’s message: that they can reject or rescind acceptance of the job offers and receive 3 months of leave with full pay and benefits, but that they should act by Monday, Nov. 25, 2019.

@WeWork and @JLL: Please act now. You can still remedy this situation, but time is running out.

The nearly 1,000 @WeWork employees who clean and maintain buildings in the U.S. and Canada are being involuntarily terminated on December 9th. They are being offered jobs at a different company, @JLL, who will contract them back to WeWork in a similar role “for the time being.”

5) Provide three months severance pay to any employee who chooses not to accept the JLL offer
