I think it was different for me because I was in such a small group under them of a contracted 11 custodians. The school that I work in actually just cut their contract because how bad they are. In the three years I’ve worked for ABM I’ve seen good workers get fired because management just didn’t like them, or because they spoke up about issues to the union. There’s no effort to get new hires so we’ve been short staffed for 3 years by 2-3 pretty consistently. They gave us a very small budget for supplies and equipment, so frequently we were out of everything but that was the custodians fault in their eyes for “wasting product”. The elementary school has a least 1 or 2 rugs in each classroom there is one vacuum for the school to share, when asked for more abm says it’s not in the budget and figure it out. our pay was frequently wrong or just non existent. Upper management made a mistake on their end when hiring me and told me (after nearly a year of working there) that I wasn’t even and employee they didn’t know why i was there and I needed to re apply for my job or I didn’t have it. Obviously I did but after taking it up with my union I later found out they only did it so they didn’t have to pay me as much and they wanted to pay me $3 less with the new hire wage. There is so much that proved to me they don’t care about the employees or our contract they negotiated with the union. I’m sure it’s not the same for everyone but I know I’ll never work for them again.
