Unionized Janitorial Crew Stages Walkout
About 100 janitors who provide cleaning services at Boeing Co.’s Long Beach facility walked off their jobs to protest what they said were low wages and unfair labor practices by their employer, Aramark Corp. Boeing outsources janitorial services to Philadelphia-based Aramark.
The janitors, represented by the Service Employees International Union, said they planned to file a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, charging Aramark with intimidating workers who complained about poor work conditions.
