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.”

THESE FOOLS DO NOT WORK FOR TWITTER-—

They get paychecks from a Cleaning company-—NOT from Musk.

No, Olga, that wasn't a coincidence. It was a particularly stupid and insensitive plan on the union's part and now the contractor is the one who suffers. Seems to me the SEIU owes its members strike benefits. Pay up.

Just right click on the image if you can’t see it, and pick the “show/open in a new tab” option.

Just put the image address in the right html codes. Look in the HTML Sandbox forum. It’s simple.

I did, and I see the image just fine in Firefox. The security settings on some browsers won’t allow the images to show from that server for some reason, don’t ask me why. If you simply did what I suggested, you would have seen the image by now.

Other than that, I can’t help you further, and I’m not doing a damned thing more.

I did right click, and with all due respect, it wasn’t all that. If you’re going to post an image, why should I have to do anything just to see it.

I typically don’t use a closing “/” for image tags. My browser seems to do fine with that. I will explicitly use the closing “/” the next time to see what happens. That is all I can do.

And it would be good if you didn’t have to right-click and all that. But I have had to do that with images other people posted in order to see them. So I don’t know what is going on.

Life isn’t fair.

And have a nice day.

Twitter is right in the Tenderloin, anyway, so they’ll fit in with the local color.

The SEIU came about as a merger between to Communist Party USA created and or dominated unions, District 65 Distributive Workers Union and Local 1199 Hospital Workers Union Leon Davis of the CPUSA in the 1970s.

There should be some details on them at WWW.DiscoverThenNetworks.com and www.keywiki.org.

Talk about a self-inflicted injury.
