Me and the other janitor at school was told yesterday that they are going to do a trial run with an outside cleaning company to outsource our jobs. we were told by a man who makes around $200,000 a year (the superintendent) that they have to do this in order to save $35k a year. he said it was going to take a crew of 4 men or more per day over the course of the school hours AND during the night to clean the same as we do in 1 eight hr day. so wow to that! neither one of us even take out school insurance either.

He said it was more to do with getting rid of the benefit costs, mostly health insurance, that the school provides. he said that even though we dont have insurance through the school, others do. and therefore they are required to offer it to everyone and it is just going to get to expensive to continue.
