Led by a mariachi band, the protesters walked through the Yard to Holyoke Center.
There, a crimson-colored shark-shaped pinyata with a yellow "H" on its side dangled from a string two union members held between them.
"This is the greedy shark that eats the capital that you put into Harvard," LaBella said.
The protesters cheered as a third janitor, blindfolded, beat at the shark, sending peanuts flying into the crowd.
"We will not work for peanuts," LaBella told the crowd once the pinyata was emptied.
As students and janitors led chants outside Holyoke, LaBella rode the elevator up to the seventh-floor offices of the Harvard labor relations department to deliver the subpoena and the battered shark.
LaBella paused outside the doors to add his signature prominently at the bottom of the subpoena.
