INFECTIOUS NCPD FACILITY

In the County Executive's now infamous attempt in saving dollars on the backs of County employees, a new low was hit. He put the pressure on all departments to save money, apparently even if it entails endangering employees.
Some more prominent cases involved an incident in the EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC) of the NCPD.
While 'sprucing' up the EOC is a valient effort in fruitlessness (much like sticking ones thumb in a damaged levy in New Orleans to stop the water), they recently decided to paint a stairwell. Very Nice.
Except they did not prep and partition the area off. While using toxic oil based epoxy paint on the steps in a facility with numerous pregnant females working. To make matters worse, they put on the air circulation system to efficiently spread the toxic fumes throughout the overcrowded facility with no windows and no direct doors to the outside (its a bunker 40 feet underground).
Upon complaining, the Union shut the job down. The pregnant females, fearing for the health/safety of thr unborn child were allowed to leave.
However, they had to use thr sick leave time! That is an insult and embarrassment. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Another example is the cut-back on limited heat. Employees are forced to wear hoods and in some cases gloves on the overnight when the temperature drops. Yet if one gets sick, they penalize the employee.
Yet, and perhaps even more alarming is not supplying paper towels to wash ones hands after using the toilet facilities. Perfect breeding grounds for some kind and friendly diseases as E-COLI. And how quick this can spread as the employees of the facility operate a keyboard and computer mouse.
One employee who deposits thr fecal/urine bacteria on the keyboard and computer mouse, the relieving employee unknowingly picks it up.
Perhaps those in the newly constructed Taj Mahal on One West Street can watch thr own employees on thr large flat screen LCD TV's mounted on the office walls working in these foul, unsanitary County facilities make the news when they are sick with a disease caused by these 'efficient cutbacks.'
They should be ashamed of themselves. Cut the fat from the top.
