Nine janitors were fired from a downtown Toronto office building after a change in management undefined and they believe it’s because they wanted to keep their union.

Amphora Maintenance Services fired the workers after it took over cleaning services from Hallmark Housekeeping at 8 and 10 King St. E., according to a union complaint filed with the Ontario Labour Relations Board. The workers and their union are holding a rally in protest outside the buildings Monday at noon.

A company can legally fire previous contractors’ employees, but the union alleges that Amphora only did so because the employees were reorganizing, SEIU Local 2 representative Diego Mendez said.
