Two smiling youngsters with drumsticks in their hands at a picket line. The young man wears ray bans and a red Justice for Janitors t-shirt, the young woman a red silk jacket. Behind them, people are holding Local 11 - Boycott Canters picket signs.

Jono Shaffer and Rocio Sáenz, organizers with the Justice for Janitors campaign, march with Local 11 in support of the Canter’s Deli boycott. During the 1990s, HERE Local 11 and SEIU Local 399 worked closely together. More Images from Local 11 in the UNITE HERE records (Collection 2325), UCLA Library Special Collections.
