On the march against ISS (3 of 5)

Having scored some big wins downtown, the Justice for Janitors campaign initiated a second major campaign in Century City against the Danish-owned cleaning contractor ISS in the summer of 1989. ISS (International Services Systems) was the largest cleaning contracting company in the world at the time. After months of organizing, the Justice for Janitors began holding their first public actions against ISS in Century City in the spring of 1990.
