A SKUNK BY ANY OTHER NAME SMELLS JUST AS BAD!!!

James Matthews is best known as the President of United States
Service Industries (USSI), a notorious cleaning contractor that has
"a history of pervasive illegal conduct" when it comes to employee
rights. As one federal agency recently concluded. USSI employees
face a "lingering atmosphere of fear" in their employment.
 
USSI is the company hired to clean EPA HEADQUARTERS in Washington,
DC.

Matthews is also President of Positive Building Services. Positive
has just been hired to clean a building on North Capitol Street.
Under the law, a new janitorial contractor is required to offer jobs
to the employees of the prior contractor.  But on February 2, 1996,
Positive refused to hire the janitors who used to clean the
building. As a result, over a dozen employees are out in the cold
with no job to pay the rent.

It is clear why Matthews would want to cover up his true identity by
creating another company. By now, USSI's reputation for law breaking
and injustice is known all over the city. It is also clear that
Matthews' unjust policies extend to his new company as well.

If you believe that the EPA headquarters should not be cleaned by
this law-breaking company, PLEASE SEND E-MAIL TO CAROL BROWNER, EPA
ADMINISTRATOR, AT <BROWNER.CAROL@EPAMAIL.EPA.GOV> or call her at
(202) 260-4700 and let her know.
