Wearing masks resembling Gerald Hines' face, janitors and their children went treak or treating in downtown Houston.
Hines, the President of Hines International, is one of the largest property owners in downtown Houston. We are targeting many of his buildings because he has failed to ask his cleaning contractors to resepct the janitors by offering them a fair contract.
Security officers did ask us to leave the tunnel system connecting many downtown office buildings. I'm not sure if it was our Gerald Hines masks or our trick or treat jack o' lanterns that frightened them more.
A special mass was held in the janitors honor Monday night at Our Lady of Guagalupe. It was a peaceful, respectful moment in the campaign, a sharp contrast to the noise, chanting, police sirens and general intensity surrounding the strike.
