“These folks don’t get enough recognition,” said
Mary Miller, assistant vice president of administra
tion. “(The custodians) start working before the crack
of down to make (A&M) ready for those coming in.”
The ceremony was held yesterday as part of In
ternational Housekeepers Week. Richardson and
15 other custodial workers were recognized as
being outstanding crew members. Safety awards
were given to crews having two or fewer accidents
in the previous year.
A&M employs 330 custodial workers, which
are separated into 16 crews. Together, they clean
340 buildings totaling 12.2 million square feet, ac
cording to University Relations.
“Without these guys we couldn’t go to class or
to work each day,” said Chuck Sippial, vice presi
dent of administration. “They are among the low
est paid, but the most valuable because they build
our reputation.”
Financial constraints have made the custodial
job at A&M even more difficult. The University
has 100 fewer custodians than it had at this time
last year. Miller said. As a result, each employee
is responsible for 32,000 square feet while at other
major institutions, custodians average 25.000 to
26,000 square feet, Sippial said.
“Deans and faculty adopt these folks who clean
their offices and buildings,” Sippial said. “I get
calls all the time when we have to move them
around because they become part of their family.
We encourage that, but we have to tell them we’re
just doing our job.”
During the ceremony, it was also announced
that the Employee Advisory Committee has been
expanded and three members of the custodial staff
have been added to provide better representation.
“(The custodial staff) is a big, productive and
effective team,” Miller said. “I’m honored to be a
part of that team. 1 hope people all week celebrate
and thank them.”
