In 1990, the janitors of Century City in Los Angeles faced media criticism and police brutality while on strike from April 3 until April 22. When they finally reached a contract agreement that guaranteed at least a 22% raise over the next three years, the victory was historic.

They won a union, and the landmark campaign proved to be a turning point for re-organizing the workers responsible for sweeping and cleaning up the sparkling high rises of Los Angeles, Denver, Miami, Houston, Boston, Minneapolis, Washington, DC, and Canada.

We honor the courageous efforts of those janitors, by celebrating the 20th anniversary of the campaign. Learn more about Justice for Janitors: seiu.me/j4j20
