June 15

Battle of Century City, as police in Los Angeles attack some 500 janitors and their supporters during a peaceful Service Employees International Union demonstration against cleaning contractor ISS. The event generated public outrage that resulted in recognition of the workers' union and spurred the creation of an annual June 15 Justice for Janitors Day – 1990

 Also on this date: The Metal Trades Department of what is now the AFL-CIO is founded. Congress of Industrial Organizations expels the Fur and Leather Workers union and the American Communications Association.
