Janitors at the Twitter headquarters are on strike after the company locked them out and told their union it planned to replace them.
Workers held signs outside headquarters saying “proud to be union” and “justice for janitors”. Janitors say they were locked out of the building without warning Friday and haven’t been allowed back.
Twitter has ended its relationship with the contractor that employs the janitors, Flagship, and has indicated that the company’s new contractor will not rehire the workers.
