Elk River custodians plan actions against outsourcing

Custodians in the Elk River school district plan two actions to protest efforts by the district to outsource custodial jobs.

On Tuesday, Dec. 1, custodians and supporters will gather at 7:30 a.m. outside the Handke Center, 1170 Main St., Elk River, where a pre-proposal meeting for contractors will be held.

On Monday, Dec. 14, custodians and supporters will meet at 4:30 p.m. at the Gateway Church, 13913 185th Ave., Elk River. The group will organize and have dinner there, then go to the School Board meeting at 6:30 p.m.

Custodians are represented by Service Employees International Union Local 284. The union is asking for supporters to turn out at both events.
