Friday, May 20, 2011, at Noon

Meet in front of Old Union courtyard (Click here for directions)

 

Rally to Demand Stanford Protect & Protect the Rights of Our Janitors!

 

Background:

 

To Fire or Not To Fire?

 

“Twenty-nine Stanford janitors — more than one in five of those who clean academic buildings — will lose their jobs this June if Stanford does nothing to defend them…. Stanford claims that this situation only concerns UGL-Unicco and the janitors’ union, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1877, since Stanford does not directly employ these janitors.

We believe that the Stanford administration is shirking its responsibility to ensure just treatment for all members of the Stanford community.”…. READ MORE.
