Mop Man crashes the Oscars, 1993 (3 of 3)
At the Oscars awards ceremony in 1993, J4J held its own "Mopscar Awards" ceremony nearby where it awarded its opponents with prizes. These included awards for worksites refusing to sign union contracts (such as Toyota Corp., Mattel, the William Morris Agency, and LACMA) and the LAPD (for violence against janitors in Century City). Pictured here: as they waited for the Metro, members of the union revealed their banner for the “Mopscars” event, which read “L.A.’s Two Faces - Glamour and Wealth / Poverty and Despair.”
