"The lack of access to affordable health care is a moral crisis and we cannot sit on the sidelines as this problem worsens," he said. Of the 4,200 janitors currently covered by the contract with metro-area cleaning companies, only 14 can afford the family health care coverage offered.
If a walkout occurs, the union said the strike would over unfair labor practices committed by the employers. The previous contract expired Dec. 31.
