Local 32B/32J of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has won reinstatement for eighteen of the twenty-two employees who clean and monitor female restrooms during Mets games. The restroom matrons were fired March 29---three days before the start of the season---and have been picketing home games in protest since then. Under the new agreement fourteen of the workers will be rehired full-time and another four will kept on to fill in during heavily attended games, and all rehired workers will receive a three percent raise.
