County pays women custodians less
Female custodians in the county courthouse earn about 1,000 dollars less annually than male coworkers for identical work. Examples show several pre-1976 female hires with lower pay, and a 1976 contract set a uniform starting wage when more men than women were hired. Officials cite recruitment challenges and day work options at Fair Acres as factors.
