"We want to be able to give the Halton board an A-plus for clean, safe schools. That means having custodial services provided by permanent board employees, not a private company with the lowest bid, in all Halton public schools," said Bryant. "Everyone seems to understand the value of having board custodians in ele mentary schools because of the safety factor. We believe it is just as important at the high school level, maybe even more important, to have that permanent person in the school who is throughout the building during the day and who knows who belongs there and who doesn't." A high-ranking board administrator said she has been taken aback by the union's petition and public position. "It was not discussed with us that there would be a problem with it," said Dawn Beckett-Morton, the executive officer of human resources. She said the union knew of the board's intention for some time. Although it wasn't a condition of the two-year contract CUPE signed last September, Beckett-Morton said a com mittee formed last year, comprised of board staff and CUPE custodial repre sentatives, met on the contracting out issue and came up with a plan for its implementation. "I take it there are a few people in their union in secondary schools that are affected by it," she said of the union's recent comments. Both sides acknowledge no CUPE jobs are being lost by the changeover in staffing model at the secondary level. Beckett-Morton noted though it could mean a change in job description or work venue for some custodial employees. "We're standardizing the (custodial) operations. The attempt is to get the best efficiency financially," she said. Beckett-Morton said it will actually be a case of more custodial jobs for CUPE members overall as all elementary schools must move to the new staffing model. She doesn't believe there is a student or school property safety issue either. She noted police background checks are required of all board employees, includ ing contract workers. "At the secondary level the head care taker is still there and there's also the lead hand," a nightshift supervisor who will also be a CUPE worker. M ost Halton public board high schools should have contract workers in place by June 2004, said Sheila Gore, the board's manager of human resources. CUPE Local 1011 president Bryant also raised the issue of potentially com promised hygiene in schools with the use of contract custodians. "Cleanliness in our schools is too important a job to be left up to the lowest bidder," said Bryant.
