also again requested for the seven laborer positions to assist in
cleaning the existing space on the House side of the Capitol Building.
The justifications for these latter positions follow.
4 - LABORER - DAY, WG-4: Four new day laborer positions are requested for the "Capitol Buildings" appropriation.
These new day laborer positions are required because of the
increased workload demands placed on the labor division during normal
operating hours. The number of requests for service by the labor
division has increased dramatically over the past several years.
The day labor division provides multiple services to the occupants
of the Capitol Building. In addition, they are responsible for a wide
variety of maintenance, cleaning, and other services during their tour
of duty. Each day, staff from the day labor division are responsible
for delivering fresh ice, assisting the flag flying operation,
providing assistance to maintenance shops in their work when needed,
setting up and cleaning rooms for special functions in the Capitol,
responding to emergency cleaning calls, providing special assistance
for maintenance and project oriented consultants, as in the case of
erecting and moving scaffolding for art conservators, cleaning the
exterior and interior windows, chandeliers, marble and woodwork, and
other functions.
The burden of this workload has proven to exceed the availability
of an adequate number of staff to accommodate all needs on a timely
basis. Frequently, day laborers must be called away from one job to
assist or begin another. As a result, some service calls are
interrupted while others are not responded to until later in the day.
