Image for article: The Harvard Crimson on Instagram: "Harvard custodians launched a strike at 10 a.m. on Monday after union negotiations broke down on the eve of their contract’s expiration, their first strike in at least 50 years.

Workers, who are represented by the Service Employees International Union 32BJ, have begun picketing in Harvard Yard and outside Harvard Medical School. According to a union press release, the strike is planned to last through Tuesday, when contracted custodial staff are encouraged to stop work and picket.

But unlike most strikes, the action was not authorized by a vote of workers represented by the union. 32BJ Executive Vice President Kevin Brown said the union bypassed the usual vote in a Saturday meeting because the bargaining committee was unanimous in its disapproval of Harvard’s proposals presented at a Thursday bargaining session.
