Striking Janitors Educate Intel Shareholders
Striking Janitors staged a morning protest today (May 21st) at the Annual Shareholders Meeting for Intel corporation in Mountain View. Audio in MP3 format from Union Rep Gina Bowers (2:51), Janitor Maria (1 min., Espanol), and an Intel shareholder (1:25) on his way out of the meeting.
Bay Area Janitors voted to reject the "last and final offer" from contractors that work with companies like HewlettPackard, Cisco Systems, Oracle, Yahoo, Applied Materials, and Intel, among others. Last Saturday they voted to strike: 400 janitors walked out of a dozen locations yesterday, mostly in the South Bay, with the strike expected to spread out of Silicon Valley and throught the bay. Tonight a union in Oakland will join, and tomorrow workers are expected to walk out of Stanford University.
