  1. “Custodians possess licenses needed to operate and maintain a school building, including credentials for boilers, heating/air conditioning and fire sprinklers and alarms.”

    To be fair they do a little more than lean on a mop.

    On the flip side, while the money is nice, it’s New York. Yes, I want that kind of money, but not if I have to live and work in New York to get it.

    After union dues, taxes, and the high cost of living, I wonder what they really have left.

  2. so in NYC janitor means maintenance guy. Around here a certified maintenance guy doesn’t make that much but they make more than a ‘janitor’ would.

    Janitorial staff is important and they need to know what they are doing but it isn’t exactly skilled labor.

    Operating the systems in a building and being certified to do so is a different thing.

    Also something like that is probably a “gotta know the right people to get in” kind of gig.

    109k in NYC is probably similar to 60k in flyover country. With overtime that’s somewhat plausible.
