Jamie Dimon Confronted By Houston Janitor Over Low Wages

[TBF]

41. But you realized that this janitor might be working a 2nd job -

that means there is also a first job. I have been looking for articles that have more description of the actual hours worked, and whether these folks hold 2-3 jobs (which I suspect at these rates - Houston has cheaper housing than some but it's still a major city).

So far I've found these descriptions of pay/hours:

"It's a constant fight with the companies to get a pay increase.," Caballero said. "Workers are not asking to be rich. They are simply looking at how to buy food and pay for their rent."

The union janitors, who make $8.35 an hour, are seeking a contract that will bring that to $10 an hour in three years. Union officials say the companies have proposed a contract that would raise hourly pay to $8.85 by 2016.

The SEIU is trying to win a $10 an hour wage for the janitors at Houston’s tallest office building, most of whom get just four-, five- or six-hour workdays. http://blogs.reuters.com/macroscope/2012/06/20/jp-morgan-houston-janitor-wants-jamie-dimon-to-walk-in-her-shoes/
