Back 30 years ago in Silicon Valley, this is where SEIU was born.
It all began with “Janitors for Justice” with the same sob story.
Now Janitors are unionized under SEIU and they still have no future.
BUT SEIU is now the most powerful Union in the country.
This was the REAL reason for “Janitors for Justice”
I remember that janitors strike. It didn’t help them any. I worked for GTE in Mtn. View. We did get picketed, but the cleaners in the secure spaces did not take part. They all had to be US citizens and underwent background checks. They also got paid more than the run of the mill cleaners.
At least GTE did not contract out the cleaners until years later, after the bean counters took the corporation away from the engineers.
