The rally, “Justice for Janitors” spilled over onto Northeastern’s campus once again last Thursday, causing an abrupt end to a volunteer fair put together by faculty and students.

The rally, which started in front of the law school, moved past Churchill Hall, where President Richard Freeland’s office is, and then shifted into Krentzman Quad where the fair was being held.

Several members of the protest shouted “no justice, no peace” and waived the banners and signs they had created.

Members of the rally with bullhorns asked DJ’s of NU’s radio station, 104.9 WRBB, to stop playing their music on a stage set up in front of the Ell Building, so the rally could continue.

“They gathered in front of the stage and came up to us. But they weren’t being rude,” said WRBB DJ Mark Giragosian. “But some were shouting to shut the music off now and others were simply asking us. (Student Activities Director) Todd Shaver said to us ‘you’re not shutting off the music.'”

Shaver said he did as he was instructed.

“We were instructed to let them speak by Public Safety because they might get out of hand,” he said. “We were going to let them play their music. We could have asked for Public Safety help to have them removed from campus. But we gave them time to speak and they did and then they left.”

After WRBB initially refused to shut down its music, Giragosian said several members of the rioting group offered their displeasure for the station’s lack of cooperation.

“They started saying that it would look bad on us,” Giragosian said. “Finally, Boston Police just told us that we should shut it down. Personally, I wouldn’t have shut the music down. I’m a little upset about them ruining the day, but I guess they were trying to make their point. But they should have let us do our own thing. They’re attacking the wrong people though.”

After the music stopped, by way of Boston and Northeastern Police Officers who requested that WRBB shut the music off, the rally continued.

Several people spoke through a megaphone. Each one receiving thunderous applause and approval from the hundreds of janitors and Northeastern students joined in the fight to receive health care benefits for the families of those janitors.

Several police officers lined the steps of the Ell Building and Churchill Hall to provide extra security to the university.

Shaver was concerned that students saw the rally and were detracted from the fair.

“I think it kept people away from it,” he said.

The group dispersed after 15 minutes of rallying and reconvened later that afternoon at the Boylston T stop.
