Janitors at the University of Miami have been on strike for seven weeks. After huge outpourings of community support and two failed negotiation sessions, President Donna Shalala continues to ignore the workers' plea for justice--a simple request to honor their decision to join the union.  Facing death [and worse, despair], workers went on hunger strike nine days ago. 

Yesterday, seven students joined the hunger strike. Numerous other students are fasting.  Even students at Harvard University, where Shalala hopes to be President, are fasting in support.  To date, three workers have collapsed and been hospitalized, including the near stroke of one of the workers last night. Death is not an option.  Ask your elected representatives to intervene and successfully end this strike!
