KTRK-13’s Miya Shay blogs that the SEIU/janitors strike has come to an end, with SEIU pronouncing victory.
Here’s an interesting tidbit from her blog post:
You saw it first here on the KTRK political blog! SEIU and the cleaning companies reach preliminary agreement. Sources say Mayor White made many phone calls over the past several weeks behind the scenes.
It’s good to know that Mayor White views it as his job to play mediator for private firms and a labor union that shipped professional protestors in from out of town to disrupt life in Houston and break our laws. Obviously, all of the pressing problems in the city are solved. Well, except for the renegade Animal Cracker snacking, but METRO’s working on that!
Anyway, look for SEIU to spin this as a big labor victory. And maybe it was. Or maybe SEIU decided that it wasn’t worth paying big bail bonds to beat this dead horse of a strike.
