Asleep on the job?
ø
The guy by the door missed this call on Wednesday from S.E.I.U 615 to support Harvard janitors laid off for the summer. Fortunately, SLAM was on the case:
——
RALLY TO SUPPORT HARVARD JANITORS!
Every year the Unicco Service Company at Harvard temporarily lays off several
janitors and during this period the janitors lose their health insurance.
Many of the workers have children and it’s dangerous for them to be without
insurance.
Join in solidarity with the janitors from SEIU Local 615 to say:
STOP PLAYING WITH OUR HEALTH!
CONSISTENT HEALTH COVERAGE FOR ALL!

Unicco’s labor practices were the subject of the hunger strike at University of Miami this spring. Unfortunately, I can’t give you any of my own coverage of Wednesday’s rally and the Crimson didn’t cover it. However, the SLAM Website has gone to “community portal” software. Anyone who went to the rally can hop over to the site, create an account* and post an article. There is no substitute for a good rally, but why get as much mileage as you can out of it?
*The account create function works. Thanks to the Havard Computer Society.
