Janitors protests
low income
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Hoisting brooms and mops,
thousands of low-income work
ers are walking picket lines and
gearing up for demonstrations
across the country to demand
higher wages, better job securi
ty and "-justice for janitors.”
The pressure started building
last week when hundreds of jan
itors went on strike in Los Ange
les, leaving the companies that
clean 70 percent of the county’s
commercial office space scram
bling to find replacements. And
the janitors' union says that was
just the beginning.
On Sunday, a small group of
janitors staged a noisy demon
stration in San Diego, shouting
“Mueho trabajo, poco dinero”
— “Lots of work, little money.”
This week, the campaign
spreads to New York City, where
doonnen, porters and maintenance
workers plan to march up Park
Avenue to promote their demands
for contract talks with owners of
3,000 residential buildings. Their
strike deadline is April 20.
“It’s been the combined dis
respect at the workplace and the
bargaining table that led us to do
this,” said Mary Grillo, execu
tive director of Service Employ
ees International Union Local
2028 in San Diego.
Over the next few months,
maintenance workers, maids and
other SEIU members plan demon
strations in Chicago, Cleveland,
Seattle and other major cities where
contracts, expire this year.
The timing is no coinci
dence. The SEIU set out five
years ago to negotiate contracts
around the country that would
expire within months of each
other to combine the clout of
more than 100,000 workers.
That kind of thinking, com
bined with some of the most ag
gressive bargaining and recruiting
tactics in organized labor, has
made the 1.3 million-member
union one of the fastest-growing
and powerful in the country.
In 1985, the then-struggling
union started a program called
“Justice for Janitors’’ under the
leadership of John Sweeney, who
later became president of the
AFL-CIO. Organizing efforts
were aimed at the fringes of the
work force. It spent more money
than most unions on organizing,
absorbed independent unions,
and staged demonstrations to
draw public attention and rally
union loyalists.
"Their organizing tends to be
among marginalized workers,”
said Gary Chaison, a professor of
industrial relations at Clark Uni
versity in Worcester, Mass.
“They also tend to emphasize
justice, dignity and respect. In
stead of saying, ‘We’re going to
get you tremendous wage in
creases,’ they say, ‘We’re going
to get you bargaining agreements
that will give you your fair share
of economic prosperity.’”
That message has attracted
thousands of workers.
In the cities where it has lo
cals, the union says it represents
up to 90 percent of all service
workers. In Washington, D.C.,
union membership went from 40
percent to 77 percent over the past
five years. Over an 18-month pe
riod in 1988, the union targeted
the Denver suburbs and went
from no presence to representing
more than 75 percent of the area’s
service workers, according to
union figures.

Judge reprimands marine captain Arana
convicted in reservist’s heat-related death
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (AP) — A Marine captain
convicted of charges stemming from the heat-related
death of a reservist received a reprimand Sunday and
was ordered to forfeit $3,600 in future pay.
Lt. Col. Ralph Kohlmann, a military judge, found
Capt. Victor Arana guilty of dereliction of duty and
failure to obey an order. He could have given Arana
up to nine months in prison and dismissed him from
the Marines but instead ordered a reprimand and fine.
Arana’s attorney had argued that Arana’s career as
a Marine officer was effectively over and that he should
n’t be dismissed from the service as well.
“His promotion has been taken away. He has a fed
eral conviction that will follow him the rest of his
life,’’’attorney Mark Stevens said. “A dismissal in this
case would be grossly disproportionate to the actions
he’s been convicted of.”
Arana, 28, of Chicago, was charged in the death of
Lance Cpl. Giuseppe “Joey” Leto. Leto, 21, of New
Milford, Conn., died following a July 7 night march
in 80-degree heat. The death certificate says it was
“heat-related.”
Arana asked for forgiveness Sunday from Leto’s
family and his fellow Marines. Facing the Leto family,
he read a prepared statement expressing deep remorse
for the reservist’s death.
“Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him,”
Arana said, as Leto’s relatives sobbed. “I would do or
give anything to be able to bring him back. Many nights
"Not a day goes by that
I don't think about
him. I would do or give
anything to be able to
bring him back. Many
nights I have lain
awake haunted by the
memories of my own
inactions during the
march on July 7."
— Capt. Victor Arana
I have lain awake haunted by the memories of my own
inactions during the march on July 7.”
Arana said Leto’s death and his conviction are burdens
he will carry the rest of his life. His pregnant wife, Betty,
sat behind him, when the sentence was read.
“On July 7, my inactions failed both my students and
my staff. For that, I am sorry,” Arana said. “I never in
tended for anyone to get hurt. It is my hope that the Leto
family will someday be able to forgive me.”
Prosecutors said Arana violated standard operating
procedures for conditioning hikes and showed a care
less disregard for his men. Maj. Chris Hamilton had
asked the judge for Arana’s dismissal.
Defense attorneys argued that Arana was a rook
ie company commander in charge of the unit for only
16 days and that he did not receive proper instruc
tions from his superiors and had delegated authority
to his non-commissioned officers as allowed in stan
dard operating procedures.
“There was a general failure ... there was a failure at
the school of infantry, there was a failure by his staff,
and he stands alone at this court martial to pay the ulti
mate price,” Stevens said.
Before Arana read his statement, the defense called
two sergeants who had served with Arana when he was
a platoon commander and lieutenant. Both said they
never saw Arana mistreat his troops.
“1 believe he’s an excellent leader...,” said Sgt. Eric
Cline. “I would serve with him in any capacity, in com
bat or otherwise.”

Imagine building a contraption
that loads 18 different items into
a container, and then seals it.
The action must take place in 20
different steps, and humans are
penalized for butting in.
Hard to do?
Maybe, but a team from the
University of Texas managed to
do it, and won Purdue University’s
annual Rube Goldberg competi
tion on Saturday for their trouble.
The annual contest named for
a cartoonist fond of drawing elab
orate machines is held in two
parts, one for Purdue students in
February and one for students
from other schools.
The assignment in Saturday’s
contest was for teams to build a
contraption — to serve as a time
capsule — and fill it with at least
seven items representing the great
est inventions of the 20th Century.
The winning Texas team went
further by filling their capsule with
18 different things that represent
the best entertainment of the 20th
Century, including stuff represent
ing spectator sports, popular toys,
cartoons and film characters.
But the hard part, said one
team member, was getting the
elaborate contraption to West
Lafayette from its city of origina
tion — Austin, Texas.
“The base is made of four
pieces so we could take it apart
for the 1,200-mile trip to Purdue,”
said Chad Bruns, a member of
the winning team. “We arrived
with about three hours to spare
and were able to get it running
pretty quickly,” he said.
Jury finds man
guilty of raping wife
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A
jury has convicted a Euless man of
raping his wife, an offense that has
been a crime in Texas and most
other states for about 10 years.
John Paul Simpson, 25, was
accused of sexually assaulting
his wife four times over their
three-year marriage. An eight-
woman, four-man jury found him
guilty and sentenced him Friday
to 10 years in prison on each of
the four counts.
While marital rape has been a
crime for about a decade, this is
the first such case to go to trial in
Tarrant County, prosecutors said.
Assistant District Attorney Alana
Minton said her office rarely gets
such cases, most likely because
women rarely report it.
