Massachusetts custodians mobilize to defeat privatization effort
https://www.afscme.org/blog/massachusetts-custodians-mobilize-to-defeat-privatization-effort

To Diane Babbin-Disciullo, a custodian for the town of Duxbury, Massachusetts, her job is more than just a job.
Babbin-Disciullo grew up in nearby Kingston and has been serving Duxbury schools for 19 years. She has worked in all the town’s schools — including the middle school and the high school — and loves what she does because it’s all about the kids.
“I love making a positive impact in their lives,” she says.
That’s why she was so disappointed when, on Dec. 6, the Duxbury School Committee announced that it would explore the possibility of privatizing the custodial staff — that is, hiring an outside company to fill and manage those positions.
