Cuotcdial employeea allege
department has unfairness
Dy Kevin Field
Some university custodial employees
have charged that Inequities and unfair
practices exist within their department.
They cited problems with preferential
treatment, overtime pay policies and lck
leave procedures.
"Some people seem to be able to get
away with a lot of leniency, while others
really get hit hard," said Myrna Gaskln, a
department employee for nine years.
Dennis Sporvan, also a custodian, said
that no one follows the department's es
tablished rules and procedures, and that
management knows this. He added that
management uses these rules to deal with
"troublemakers." k
However, John bzerk, dperational
manager of the Physical Plant, said that he
was not aware of the grievances.
"As far as I know, there arer.t any
grievances," he said. "I haven't been ap
proached on any problems other than
those of a personal nature ."
About a year and a half ago, University
Ombudsman Allan Dittmer suggested
establishing an advisory board. The board
was instituted and the hope of improving
relations between the employees and the
managers, Gaskln said.
Dzerk said the board recently disband
ed because "It wasn't functioning
properly."
A technicality involving the distribution
of the minutes was Riven ai the reason for
disbanding the board, Sporvan said.
Gaskln said he believes the board was
disbanded because they tried to file
a grievance as a group.
Sporvan said the department refuses to
discuss problem! as a group, allowing dis
cussion only on an Individual basis.
Dittmer said he has dealt With the grie
vance problems over the past year and a
half.
Major complaints concern employees
coming late, leaving early or taking extra
long break!. Some employees have been
reprimanded or even fired while others are
allowed to continue these practices with no
questions asked Sporvan said.
SporVart also mentioned problems with
overtime pay practices.
Gaskln added that many of the
problems result from little things that can
not be pinpointed. She listed work and
supplies distribution as two examples.
"If a custodian comes with good inten
tions, sooner or later those Intentions get
washed down the dralri," she said. "Pro
motion is non-existent in the department.
