1992 Convention, “Recession - Response” (4 of 5)
In February 1992, Local 399 hosted the first statewide convention of janitorial workers from across California in Westwood. The convention followed the inauguration of Republican Pete Wilson as Governor of California, who had pledged to revive the state’s ailing economy by slashing government spending. At the convention, the janitors called for real solutions that would address economic inequality and ensure every worker would be treated with dignity and respect. Pictured here: members of Local 399 joined a march in Westwood after the convention.
