Justice for Janitors: Celebrating 20
Years of Organizing
In 1990, the janitors in Los Angeles stayed on strike from April 3 until April 22,when they finally reached a contract agreement that guaranteed at least a 22% raise over the next three years.
They won a union, and the landmark campaign proved to be a turning point for re-organizing the workers responsible for sweeping and cleaning up the sparkling high rises of Los Angeles, Denver, Miami, Houston, Boston, Minneapolis, Washington, DC, and Canada.
The Justice for Janitors campaign has secured 27 master contacts with commercial cleaning contractors. More than 225, 000 janitors in more than 30 cities throughout Canada and the United States have united with SEIU to raise industry standards and transform poverty wages into livable wages.
Justice for Janitors has transformed the lives of a generation of workers and set an example of giving families a solid toe hold in the middle class.
