In the new contract, hundreds of Broadway’s custodians, elevator operators and restroom attendants will get wage increases, increased pension contributions and continued paid family healthcare that is 100% covered by their employers.

Broadway cleaners rallying for a new contract on June 21st on 44th StreetHundreds of Broadway’s custodians, elevator operators and restroom attendants have come to an agreement on a new contract with theater owners and management that includes a pay bump and an increased pension contribution from their employers.

In the new contract, the essential workers will get wage increases, increased pension contributions, and continued paid family healthcare which is 100% covered by their employers. "It can be hard to see the important work we do on Broadway, cleaning tirelessly to keep theatergoers safe," Martha Aristizabal, who has worked for the Shubert company for more than 12 years, said in Spanish via a translator. "Since we came back to work, we have been asked to do a lot more to keep everyone safe. It feels good to get a new contract that reflects the contribution we have made during the pandemic.

The deal establishes a $15-per-week minimum payment to any workers who regularly do heavy lifting involving transporting playbills. And it will maintain that the workers' health insurance is 100% employer-paid, which was an important sticking point for union negotiators.
