On t he Road

[Too Many On the road]

Really smart, tell everyone to stay off the roads because they are dangersous but keep the county and town offices open so thousands of employees have to be on the road to get to work!

If anyone gets stuck or injured on their way to work, the employer should be held responsible and given the bills as a penalty. There has to be some incentive to close roads and businesses during emergency situations such as this. Young kids feel so obligated to go to their low paid retail jobs - and why?

People, stay home. Do you really need to go out shopping to Target, Kohls, Sears..... You are needlessly putting people in harms way!

If you're a county employee, take a personal day or something. Unfortunately, the contracts prevent the county from officially closing. It would be too expensive when PD, CC and DPW are making triple time all day. We can't blame this one on the administration. I haven't heard of one supervisor in a non-essential dept, holding it against you for not coming in. I also haven't heard of one non-essential supervisor coming in on a day like today themselves.

Unless they call you in *ON* overtime, it's just a regular work day == nice try though...

The smoke and mirrors at the 'new' 911 center had us operators ORDERED to stay for 16 hour shifts. Contractually, though there needs to be 12 hours off between shifts. Where does this leave them this evening?

What kind of quality do they think an operator working the OVERNIGHT after departing home WAAAY earlier to get in on time. Some were up 24 hours and expected back in. SAFE? HAHAHA

Smoke and mirrors to avoid the busy signals when you call into 911. If there were enough scheduled workers (need to HIRE) instead of cutting numbers, this would have been avoided.

Only 1 DISPATCHER on radio instead of the 3 for two precincts. PBA fought this years ago and they short it to assign the dispatcher onto 911. PO SAFETY ISSUE. Their logic, deal with PBA instead of more bad press.

"We broke many laws already, what's one more" was the quote of the day from the sworn member in charge on Sunday (with the unfilled positions). Unreal. Unsafe. Disregard for employees. No respect or dignity. Hostilities abound.

Since when has 911 been "non-essential?" Different situation.
