Twitter's Janitors Call Strike, Elon Musk Fires Them All & Cancels Contract

[Slay] Twitter’s janitors called a strike outside the company’s headquarters, causing new boss Elon Musk to fire them all and cancel their contract.

The janitors were protesting outside the HQ in San Francisco, California after 20 of their colleagues were fired during the company’s recent major workforce culls.

However, when the remaining janitors in the SEIU Local 87 union called a strike on Monday, they were all fired.

Twitter also terminated its contact with the company that hired the janitors.

“Our cleaning contractor at Twitter was told by Twitter that they are cutting the contract,” said Olga Miranda, union president for the janitors.

“So we have about 48 families out of work.
Perhaps the Union should've thought ahead
“And it just so happens that it’s three weeks before Christmas.”

A representative from SEIU Local 87 told the New Republic that 20 janitors were told on Friday that they were fired with no notice and that they were fighting for wages, “benefits, and job protections.”

By Monday, the union organized a strike with the rest of the janitors against the firings, saying the company was violating local cleaning regulations.

They also said they were locked out of the building.

Yes. That's how that works.

#7 The San Francisco mayor is investigating Musk because he allowed, GASP, employees to sleep in their offices. Never mind the many people sleeping outside on the sidewalk.

#11 Good idea to keep SEIU well away from your HQ, Elon. No telling what mischief an SEIU operative could get into on the night shift while nobody's looking.

#12 Texas, Florida or Tennessee seem reasonable.

#14 One of the rules of successful negotiation is to have an accurate estimate of the strength of your negotiating position. Musk operates a large non-union manufacturing plant only a short distance from Twitter HQ. I’m pretty sure they empty trash there somehow. This puts the small union crew in a pretty poor negotiating position. You have 40 families headed for a bad Christmas because they voted in terrible representation. I would deride them more if we weren’t riding the same short bus on a national scale.
