INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE DAY Every June 15, cleaners, security officers and other property service workers around the globe mark International Justice Day. The day was first celebrated in 1990 in the U.S. as "Justice for Janitors Day" after cleaners who cleaned office buildings in Los Angeles were beaten by police during a peaceful demonstration against a multi-national cleaning company, ISS. The incident provoked a public outcry in the U.S. and abroad. Pressure from ISS cleaners who belonged to unions in other countries led ISS to agree to recognize the cleaners' desire to form a union in Los Angeles. In remembrance of that day, cleaners and security workers take action every June 15 in cities around the world.
To mark International Justice Day 2006, LabourStart is working together with Union Network International, a global union uniting more than 900 trade unions in 140 countries with a combined membership of over 15 million workers. We're launching an unprecedented triple campaign -- simultaneously targetting three different corporations in the property service sector, worldwide. We know it will take more than the usual few seconds for you to participate in all three campaigns, but we know we can count on you to take a couple of minutes to do this, and to spread the word.
