MIT janitors get pay hike in new contract
Custodians and other union members at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will get a 9 percent pay raise over the course of a three-year contract, The Boston Globe reports.
The raise, approved Thursday, will increase 650 worker wages to $23.67 an hour over the course of the next three years — one of the highest rates for custodians in the United States.
“As a leader in higher education and one of the richest universities in the world, MIT is doing the right thing by investing in hardworking men and women who help to make this institution strong,” Roxana Rivera, vice president of 32BJ SEIU, told the Globe.
