About 40 janitors, members of Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union, protested outside The Westchester mall in White Plains today to call attention to what the union alleges are unfair labor practices against workers who are employees of Control Building Services Inc.
Control Building, the janitorial division of Control Service Group Inc., based in Secaucus, N.J., provides janitorial services at The Westchester and the Jefferson Valley Mall in Yorktown Heights.
The unfair practices, 32BJ said, include the firing of a janitor at the Jefferson Valley Mall on Monday.
The union alleged that the worker, Gladys Garnica, was fired for engaging in union activity that included leafleting on behalf of other Control Building employees at other malls who aren’t unionized.
In response to this and other alleged violations of the National Labor Relations Act, 32BJ filed an amended unfair labor practices complaint with the National Labor Relations Board on Tuesday.
Attempts to reach officials at Control Service for comment weren’t successful. The company employees about 24 janitors at The Westchester and about 16 at Jefferson Valley Mall.
