    See also University of Miami 2006 custodial workers’ strike. More than 350 groundskeepers, janitors, bus drivers, and maintenance workers employed by UNICCO, a subcontractor at Nova Southeastern University, voted on October 4, 2006 to form a union with the SEIU. UNICCO posted a letter informing workers that they could lose their jobs near the end of December if UNICCO loses its contract at the university. Workers at neighboring institutions, the University of Miami and Florida International University, recently acquired significant wage increases, health insurance, and other benefits by unionizing. On November 14, 2006, newly elected officials of Broward County, along with over a dozen clergy and community leaders which included Marleine Bastiene, Executive Director of Haitian Women of Miami (FANM), waged a symbolic protest by donning gardener gloves and using rakes to pull weeds while working alongside janitors, landscapers and other service workers who maintain Nova Southeastern University as employees of UNICCO. At this event, Roberson said: “Nova should follow the lead of the University of Miami and FIU and guarantee that the workers who have worked so hard and so loyally to keep their university clean and running are provided with decent wages and affordable health insurance.
