Some good news for workers
There’s also good news for the janitors at the University of Miami. After three weeks of protests over low pay wages, janitors will get a raise of 25%, announced the Univeristy president Donna Shalala. The new policy will apply to about 900 workers.
The current hourly base pay is $6.40. The new hourly minimum will be $8 for food service workers; $8.55 for housekeepers; and $9.30 for landscapers. In addition, health care benefits will also be offered.
