Twitter’s janitors called a strike outside the company’s headquarters, causing new boss Elon Musk to fire them all and cancel their contract.

The janitors were protesting outside the HQ in San Francisco, California after 20 of their colleagues were fired during the company’s recent major workforce culls.

However, when the remaining janitors in the SEIU Local 87 union called a strike on Monday, they were all fired.

Twitter also terminated its contact with the company that hired the janitors.

“Our cleaning contractor at Twitter was told by Twitter that they are cutting the contract,” said Olga Miranda, union president for the janitors.

“So we have about 48 families out of work.

“And it just so happens that it’s three weeks before Christmas.”

Good! Unions have grown far too powerful and corrupt. They have made American labor uncompetitive forcing manufactures to move off-shore.

Can we get Elon involved with public education?

We’ll find out from this if an office building really needs all that much cleaning.

I’m truly struggling to find any sympathy or empathy with this.

Perhaps me having to wake up with news of American Girl putting out transgender books on the morning news and having to explain to my 8 and 10 year old they will never be getting them again put me in a sour mood.

Like that was the only janitorial services company around.

Wherever could Elon find any highly-skilled janitors?

All SEIU thugs everywhere should be fired.

A union thug goes to janitors who are low on the totem pole. We’re gonna walk, he says. The janitors know no better. Have no idea that they might be walking into a buzzsaw, and now are out of work. And the Marxist SEIU says, “better luck next time,” and without losing a step moves toward its next catastrophe.

We used to have janitors that came around every day and helped people empty their trash. Then to save costs they fired the janitors and told us to start taking our own trash out. Now we have the smell of dead rats.

These people were just pawns to the union who called a strike before Christmas.

To rally the left against Musk.

Oh well. Musk don’t play those games.

Maybe they can clean up the poop on the sidewalks for the city.

Shed a little tear. Out of work at Christmas.
Turn the tables and the hunted are soon the hunters.
Elon Musk, along with Trump, are certainly adding a
bit of spice to the ‘old game’ of politics.

$50,000 is not a lot in the Bay Area. Maybe in Hicksville USA it is.
