Custodians and other staff did not report to work
The 33 public schools in Camden, N.J., were forced to close early Monday because of a shortage of custodial staff. In addition to most of the custodial staff, quite a few maintenance workers and some lunchroom workers reportedly were missing. The three groups have been without a contract for more than two years. Also among the missing were principals and other administrators, who also are without a contract.
