The janitors worked at 55 Hawthorne St., between Howard and Folsom Streets. Upset with their wages and working conditions, and with what they described as sexually coercive comments by a manager, they carried picket signs outside the building for two days in October and November 2014 that called their employer unfair and demanded a living wage and “no more sexual harassment.”
