Militant

Some 150 janitors and their supporters rallied in downtown Boston September 4 to win support in their contract fight for improved wages, more full-time jobs, and better health benefits. Hundreds of janitors in the New England area who are members of the Service Employees International Union have organized demonstrations and other actions to win broader working-class support, including leafleting temporary employment agencies, urging workers who get hired there not to become scabs in the event of a janitors’ strike. "We want to be treated with more dignity and respect," said Alba López.
