Today in Labor History June 15, 1990: Los Angeles cops attacked 500 janitors who were peacefully demonstrating in the Battle of Century City. The event generated public outrage that resulted in recognition of the workers’ union and spurred the creation of an annual June 15 Justice for Janitors Day. Ken Loach’s film, “Bread and Roses,” (staring Adrien Brody), is about the Justice For Janitors struggle. He took the name from the slogan of the IWW Lawrence textile strike in 1912.

‼️ Contracted union janitors lost their jobs cleaning @Twitter@twitter.com HQ right before the holidays.

Some had been cleaning the building for over a decade!

We stand with the UNION JANITORS who’re fighting to get their jobs back.
