The SEIU 32BJ Youth Brigade marched in Newark yesterday to protest what the union is calling, the unfair treatment and low salaries of the janitors of this building, contracted by Planned Building Services, Inc. The protest took the form of street theater; 32BJ members dramatized the working conditions inside the building. According to union representatives, Planned Building Services located in Fairfield, New Jersey pays workers below the minimum wage and has violated workers rights as well as federal labor laws.
In an official statement, 32BJ indicated that the company has engaged in unfair labor practices in order to discourage workers from joining the union, including intimidation and coercion.
The Youth Brigade is made up of 30 young men and women between the ages of 18 and 22. Members come from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, and take part in a six-week program to support the labor movement.
