Janitors who clean some of Detroit's most prominent buildings announced Monday night that they are prepared to strike if they don't get a new contract by next week.  

The more than 1,700 members of Service Employees International Union Local 1 are seeking a $15-an-hour wage and a three-year contract. 

Speaking at a rally outside One Campus Martius, Pamela Moore, a union executive board member, said the janitors are simply asking to be fairly compensated for their hard work and the crucial role they have played in the downtown's revitalization.
