What are Physical Plant workers earning?
Physical plant workers earn between $14 and $17/hr and have benefits. They start at 11.62/hr. However, when Physical plant workers have been retiring or leaving, Wesleyan has been replacing them with subcontracted workers. So there are fewer and fewer Physical Plant workers on campus. Q: Can’t Wesleyan just fire Initial and hire a new company? Would the workers lose their jobs? A: Yes to both questions. However, USLAC has demanded–in its 8 Points for a Responsible Code of Conduct–that if Wesleyan fires Initial, the present workers would have to be rehired at the same or better wages by the new company.
