Something Rotten in Denmark? (1989)

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. This pamphlet detailed an array of unfair labor practice charges filed by the union in the months after ISS took over the Southern California based cleaning company Doral Industries in 1988.
