Due to his outspoken criticism, Childs has claimed that he is the victim of an investigation with ulterior motives.
In addition to the labor practices of Harvard’s co-tenant, the protesters also decried the alleged mistreatment of Ed Childs, who recently complained of dangerous cleaning conditions in Adams House as well as the inability of workers to attend Adams’ infamous Drag Night.
“They are obviously tired of me, but I want Harvard to know we are not going away. We want justice,” said Childs, who is the chief steward of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Local 26.
Allegations that Childs, who also served on the University’s employment policies committee created following the sit-in, may be facing retaliatory action for his activist stance surfaced last Tuesday morning on WBUR’s “The Connection” radio program.
The e-mail advertising the demonstration, sent out to the PSLM Planning list by former member Aaron Bartley, urges members to protest the “trumped up investigation” of Childs.
