Trackback PingsTrackBack URL for this entry: CommentsEarlier this month, the Boston Globe profiledthe plight of some of the replacement workers hired by UNICCO and other contractors in their effort to break the SEIU local. The contractors surely miss the reportedly lazy and corrupt former heads of the local. http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/277/metro/Replacement_janitors_faced_with_hard_choices+.shtml Anyway, in the article, the reporters document a clear violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act: one of the men is turned away by UNICCO because the company was only hiring women that day. This sort of blatant disregard for fairness speaks volumes about what UNICCO and its ilk stand for. (Also, where are the Republican "men's rights" loons when you really need them?)
