Justice for Janitors DAY OF CHAOS
Starting Date:
10-24-2002
Address
The STREETS
Boston, Massachusetts
United States
617-821-1949

Description
On strike since September 30, the 10,000 janitors in Boston need your solidarity now more than ever. Almost all of them are immigrants, forced from their home countries by corporate globalization only to clean the offices and bathrooms of the same corporate cronies who enforce the policies of neoliberalism. Janitors in our community are paid slave wages, denied full-time work opportunities and have no health care. Most are forced to work 2 or 3 jobs, and still barely live paycheck to paycheck, with no hope for working themselves out of poverty.
THE DAY'S FESTIVITIES START AT 6 AM WITH A WAKE UP CALL FOR SOME OF THE CEOS OF THE CLEANING CONTRACTING COMPANIES. THROUGHOUT THE DAY THERE WILL BE FLYING SQUADS AND ROAMING DIRECT ACTIONS, CULMINATING IN A MASSIVE RALLY AT 6:00 PM.
There will be a Spokescouncil, location TBA, on Wednesday Night at 9 pm. Please try to get there before then.
