A representative from SEIU Local 87 told the New Republic that 20 janitors were told on Friday that they were fired with no notice and that they were fighting for wages, "benefits and job protections."

By Monday, the union organized a strike with the rest of the janitors against the firings, saying the company was violating local cleaning regulations. They also said they were locked out of the building.

On Tuesday, Twitter cancelled the contract with the janitors, leading his critics to claim that he was in violation of local laws.

The unemployed janitors are protesting in front of Twitter headquarters while holding signs that read “proud to be union” and “justice for janitors."




I appreciate janitors, but at them unionizing.

Also hilarious Twitter had a union.


It’s hilarious that janitors have a union. They aren’t skilled labor and can be replaced by nearly anyone

If your job takes less than a week to teach, strikes probably aren't going to work, dummy.

Have people been sexually harassing the janitors?

Weren’t a ton of CNN employees and print journalists recently fired “right before Christmas”? That’s way more than 20 people.

Why isn’t the media reporting about how terribly timed the recent media firings were for those families?

I'm just impressed that a large group of borderline retarded people were able to organize enough to form a union.

It's like the "D" students of the world found a way to stop someone from giving them the "F". Respect.

Unions are basically just whining about how unfair it is that you have to do your job, anymore, so they seem like prime candidates.

No, what happens is one semi-conscious thief convinces the retards they need to pay membership fees to the scumbag so they can do all the thinking and decision making for the retards.


Why anti-facists are so supportive of systems where workers give up their freedom and autonomy has always been wonderfully ironic to me.


Union boss i give money to = good
Corporate boss who pays me = bad

Maybe aspire to be more than a fricking janitor and you will be paid more.

Pretty tired of people working mindless labor roles acting like they are worthy of a union

“It is two weeks before Christmas!”

Striking is considered a “job loss” per unemployment statistics so Musk just said “frick it, don’t come back.”


Don’t bluff someone if you can’t afford for it to get called.

So they want to stop working to frick over their employer but they also think they should be free of any consequences?

When your job is basically a low/no skill job, you have zero leverage.

Rich guys don’t stay rich if they pay people more than they are worth over long periods of time.
