EDMONTON More than 60 custodial staff serving the University of Alberta will no longer have a job come this fall. The university is laying off the workers and outsourcing the positions to a contractor to generate cost-savings as it works to balance its books after successive provincial budgets dealing cuts to the institution. Andrew Sharman, vice president (facilities and operations), said in a statement that outsourcing the positions will not affect cleaning standards. “We greatly appreciate the service of our custodial staff, both internal and contracted – and especially their hard work to maintain safety for the university community throughout the pandemic,” Sharman said.
