Two Texas groups are joining forces to help improve the working conditions of custodial workers. One group is called Generation Texas, and the other is the Center for P-16 Initiatives. A grant specialist for P-16 Initiatives, Isaac Torres, says more than three-thousand custodial workers are in the labor force in Central Texas and most earn less than ten-dollars an hour. Torres says a grassroots movement has been formed to provide assistance to the workers by helping them seek a better life. One part of the initiative is to encourage the workers to send their children to college.
