Answer from Uncle_Google (and/or Merriam-Webster):

: one that guards and protects or maintains
especially : one entrusted with guarding and keeping property or records or with custody or guardianship of prisoners or inmates

In particular:
The union contract for healthcare professionals, social workers, public works employees, custodians and others expired in March.

In the sentence above it is referring to "maintain" - janitorial workers.
