Big Six would be even more affordable if the Board of Directors could control spending: The Cost of Labor at Big Six Congratulations Mr. Woods for keeping labor costs down for Big Six residents. Maintenance: 2012 *$1,418,677 2015 *$1,490,685 This represents an increase of 5% over 3 years Okay Mr. Olech you could help residents by keeping the cost of labor lower. Power Plant: 2012 *$462,593 2015 * $504,916 This represents a 9% increase over 3 years not in line with inflation or wages in the U.S. Shame on you Mr. Newman the labor cost for this department is way out of line! Security guards: 2012 *$465,827 2015 *$687,179 This represents a 47.5% increase in labor costs If all eleven were given an equal share they would be making $63,000 each.
