Do they know it's chilly in Chicago?
Janitors take protests on road: Union taking its message to other cities (L.M Sixel & Alexis Grant, Houston Chronicle)
In an effort to gain support for their cause here, Houston janitors are traveling to other cities to picket buildings served by their employers.
The Service Employees International Union said during a conference call Tuesday that Houston janitors would begin picketing Halloween night in the Chicago area.
That'll surely help build support here.
I hope they're still picketing when I'm in Chicago this weekend, though. That would be great for the Flickr page.

I've come across protesters at least four times downtown. Can someone explain to me why they're chanting their strike slogans in Spanish?
Yes...I understand why. Really. But...I don't understand Spanish. High school was a long time ago. Maybe I'd be compelled to support them if I knew what was being chanted.

You should go speak to them in Greek.
