ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Custodians with Ann Arbor schools may form a worker-owned cooperative as part of an effort to keep their jobs if their work is outsourced by the district.
The custodians’ union AFSCME Local 1128 voted Saturday to pursue forming the cooperative. The district could contract with the co-op for custodial work without paying into the state retirement system for school employees, The Ann Arbor News reported (http://bit.ly/1ijLSZs ).
