University of Miami Justice for Janitors campaign

The University of Miami Justice for Janitors campaign was a nine-week strike lasting from February 28 to May 3, 2006. It featured striking custodial workers at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida challenging UNICCO (a company that provides maintenance, facility management, and cleaning and janitorial services for industrial, office, retail, and education facilities). The work action focused on achieving a living wage, affordable health insurance, and better working conditions for Service Employees International Union (SEIU) member employees.
== Background ==
Prior to the strike at UM, a Boston-based company, UNICCO (now UGL Limited),〔(UNICCO ); Web page; accessed .〕 had already drawn negative attention for some of its business practices. From 1999-2001, four deaths and one serious injury of UNICCO employees were reported in separate incidents, and in 2003, two employees died in an incident at a workplace in Boston.〔(''OSHA UNICCO Assessment'' ); OSHA web; accessed March 2014.〕 Investigations of these incidents indicated that UNICCO was in violation of numerous workplace standards and resulted in the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health placing UNICCO on its “Workplace Health and Safety Dirty Dozen Report.”〔(The National Council for Occupational Safety and Health ); PDF auto-download; RCN .com; retrieved .〕 A salary survey for 1999-2000 conducted by the Chronicle for Higher Education found UM's custodial workers to be the second lowest in pay ($13,120/year) and UM to be one of only 12 universities among the 195 surveyed whose custodial workers' wages did not exceed the U.S. federal poverty line.〔(''Living Wage Report'' ); Harvard University online; retrieved March 2014.〕
David Liberman, the senior vice president for business and finance at UM at the time, stated, “we don’t raise any questions about their business…() allow them to pay whatever they want to pay as long as they can recruit and retain workers, and still make a buck at the end of the day.”〔(''How Much Should Colleges Pay Their Janitors?'' ); Van Der Werf, Martin; Harvard University; accessed .〕
In response to this report, the UM Faculty Senate began addressing the issue in October 2001. In two separate resolutions, passed on October 24 and December 12 of that year, the faculty senate recommended to UM President Donna Shalala that the university needed to change its policies for companies which provided contracted labor. These recommendations went unheeded at the time.〔(''The 2006 Justice of Janitors Campaign at UM'' ); Albright, Jason; Sage Publications online; retrieved ???.〕
