Night-shift custodians at the University of Washington and the UW-run Harborview Medical Center will see their shift differential pay jump to $1 an hour under an agreement hammered out July 2 between the union and the administration.
The increase is effective July 1.
A “side letter” included in the current UW contract called for a study of a boost based on market data. The current contract guaranteed the custodians a shift differential of at least 65 cents an hour. So Tuesday’s agreement boosted their “shift diff” nearly 54 percent.
Giving credit where it’s due, Federation Senior Field Representative Phyllis Naiad said the department director overseeing custodial services, Gene Woodard, was the prime mover and shaker on the management side to get the shift differential hike.
