The downtown courthouse is preparing to send workers back into harms way . . . Just now, a KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTER sent word our way which questions this controversial policy decision.
Checkit:
"Just heard ALL Jackson County employees will be returning to the buildings on September 8. Wondering why when cases of COVID have not declined and most other downtown businesses are continuing remote working through the end of the year and/or returning on a rotating and reduced schedule. Not sure whose decision this was since the directive came from human resources, but would sure like to know their thought process."
Let's not forget that Jackson County has an abysmal record for keeping workers safe and not so long ago they were forced to pay out an EPIC settlement for environmental hazards.
And so, push back from employees threatens to hurt the standing of politicos who have endured a great deal of criticism for how they've handled the pandemic so far.
