Juan Hernandez
Juan has worked in the car wash industry for over seventeen years. During this time he has seen his fellow coworkers robbed of their pay, rest and meal breaks, felt disrespected, and sustain injuries under unsafe working conditions in the LA heat. Juan’s mission to better the carwash industry is more than a dream - it is his driving force. He was involved with the Raise the Wage campaign in Los Angeles and successfully helped pass the citywide $15 minimum wage ordinance. Within CLEANWash Mobile, he is passionate about the co-op’s usage of eco-friendly products where the health of the workers, clients, and the environment are prioritized. Juan is proud of his contributions to transform the car wash industry and hopes CLEANWash Mobile can bring more economic opportunities to hardworking carwasheros.
Luis Diaz
Luis’ journey to CLEANWash Mobile began in 2017 when he was unjustly fired from his workplace. That led him to the CLEAN Carwash Worker Center. Alongside his fellow, carwasheros he won his claim against the car wash owners in one of the largest settlements against a car wash in the history of Los Angeles. This difficult moment granted him the opportunity of forming a part of the cooperative. With over 27 years of experience, including positions as a manager, Luis joined CLEANWash Mobile will the hope to build a sustainable business where workers have a future. As a member-owner, Luis wants to prioritize rest and meal breaks, professional development ladders, and health and safety. Within the cooperative Luis is utilizing his managerial experience to establish the business’ operations mechanisms.
Rufino Maldonado
When you love what you do, hard work comes easy and Rufino has always loved cars. With over fifteen years of experience as a carwashero, Rufino is consummate professional. He has also served as an instructor for CLEAN Carwash Worker Center’s auto detail training program. During this three-week intensive course, car wash workers learn coveted skills in auto detail, like polishing, buffing, and waxing, from their veteran peers. This helps carwasheros across the city gain income mobility and better-paid positions at their workplace. Forming a part of a cooperative was a no-brainer for Rufino who is always looking to uplift his fellow carwasheros. His dream is to grow CLEANWash Mobile so that more of his peers can become business owners, have time for their families, and work with the respect they deserve.
Antonio “Tony” Dominguez
Antonio has worked in the car wash industry for over 25 years. He loves what he does but knows drastic changes are needed in the industry. Carwasheros have to endure long days and are asked to get the job done faster everyday. Tony himself was a victim of wage theft - an all too commonplace violation at car washes. Tony hopes through CLEANWash Mobile LLC carwasheros can have a new model to follow to revitalize the industry from the ground up. Within the cooperative, Tony leads efforts to utilize technology effectively for marketing and operations. In this role, he is responsible for utilizing mobile payment methods, leveraging communications methods, and exploring new digital platforms to streamline business processes.
