With contract talks at a standstill, the march was part of an effort by janitors to build visibility.
\"We want people to know that their offices are cleaned by real people, not by magical elves,\" says Jamilo Ali, a janitor at Marsden Building Maintenance.
About 250 members of Service Employees International Union Local 26, along with family and friends, marched in the parade, following a rally held at the downtown YWCA.
