Empower Property Service Workers through BSP's Cafecito Program
We are excited to share an incredible opportunity to support property service workers through Building Skill Partnership's "Cafecito" programs. We encourage you to spread the word to your employees about this program and others offered by BSP.
Throughout July, successful Cafecito sessions were held in Los Angeles, creating a welcoming space for property service workers to voice their needs. These programs are designed to engage BSP participants, laying a solid foundation for ongoing support and empowerment.
BSP is committed to convening property service workers in participant advisory committees, providing them with a platform to be heard, steer advocacy efforts, and build leadership capacity throughout California. By participating in these initiatives, workers can voice their concerns and access essential resources, driving positive change in their workplaces and communities.
Let's come together to support and uplift our property service workers through these vital programs. Please encourage your employees to get involved!

What's Happening in Advocacy | |

Summer is Over, the Legislature is Back in Session
Last week, our Government Affairs Committee chair, Nathan Morales, led a conversation with Senator Bradford’s District Director about the damaging effects of a particular bill on our members.
AB 2364 could potentially double janitorial costs for your properties and create new operational headaches for property managers responsible for meeting tenant needs and complying with new janitorial rules.
Our recent Operating Benchmark Report survey showed that the average janitorial cost is $1.37 per square foot. For a sample property with 500,000 square feet of space, costs would jump from $685,000 to $1.4 million!
(Square Footage x My Janitor Costs) x 2 = New Janitorial Cost After AB 2364 (est.)
Of course, these costs are assuming there is a workforce to match the need once new workload limits are in place. The reality is this bill will force property managers and brokers to secure leases with tenants that place more of the cleaning burden on tenants.
We are not powerless. You can help us take action by contacting the Senate Appropriations Committee and asking them not to advance this bill.
