University Day Rally at USC, 1996 (1 of 2)

In August 1995, several union janitors working at USC were fired and replaced by non-union subcontractors with Service Master, launching a years-long struggle among service workers at USC. The Justice for Janitors worked closely in collaboration with HERE Local 11, after food service workers at the campus were also told they would be replaced with non-union subcontractors. Pictured here: the two unions gathered for an on-campus march and rally in conjunction with University Day (graduation) in 1996.
