Officers Fight and Win Battle to Bring Back Chairs
Through a petition and direct worker action, officers at Vornado at 555 California in San Francisco fought for and forced the client to bring chairs back that the client removed. Officers went two months without chairs. Officers continue fighting for a long-term solution to the issue with Allied Universal, seeking compensation for inadequate seating. Chairs had been removed by client demand, affecting 12 officers at the site. The 52-story skyscraper is one of the tallest skyscrapers west of the Mississippi.
