More than 500 workers and students marched in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
on Martin Luther King Day January 21. The protest and an earlier rally
backed the demand for a wage increase by janitors represented by Service
Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 254 at Harvard University.
Participants carried "Justice for Janitors" signs and chanted, "What's
outrageous? Harvard's wages! What's disgusting? Union busting!"
Negotiations with university management began the next day. Last spring,
students organized an occupation of a university hall in solidarity with
the workers fight for wages, benefits, and full-time jobs.
