Rev. Canon Mary Moreno-Richardson (from left) of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Rabbi Yaffa-Shira Sultan of Congregation Dor Hadash offer prayers along with a Seder meal as Rabbi Laurie Coskey of the Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice holds a piece of matzoh April 17 during a rally for area janitors at Eastgate Mall’s Good Samaritan Church.
Janitors and friends then marched along Eastgate Mall for better working conditions.
On April 25, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) voted overwhelmingly to strike over unfair labor practices.
The janitors have been working under an extension after their latest downtown contract expired March 31.
