PC janitors to strike for parents weekend

The Providence College janitors are on strike today after a fruitless evening of contract negotiations with their employer, Hurley of America, Inc.

“None of the issues were resolved,” union spokeswoman Sasha Warner-Berry said this morning.

The janitors will be joined by PC students, faculty members and others at a news conference today.

The weekend strike comes at the beginning of parents weekend and will last through Sunday. At issue are wages, days off and pensions in a newly proposed five-year contract.

The press conference is schedule for noon at the Providence College Campus Gates on Huxley Avenue.
