It will be at that moment you will realize how important following PPE guidelines, set forth by the company, truly are; as you being escorted out of the building. Ask your cousin/attorney if wrongful termination cases stick due to employee insubordination over PPE policies." Strangely enough, it was a short conversation.  |
My wife is in a senior leadership roll in government, she previously held senior leadership rolls with a number of fortune 500 companies. She now has to deal with the union's constantly. When they send government workers back the union has been demanding PPE and training to use it. I've had to use PPE lots of times in the past for work and know that it can be a pain in the ass. I've warned her that she's going to get push back from folks that don't think they have to wear it, who will wear it wrong and who will complaint about it being uncomfortable, claustrophobic and make it difficult to breath and won't wear it for those reasons.
Her plan is to send them home on a holiday day if that's their choice. Government is a nightmare, especially when you have unionized office workers complaining constantly about horrible work conditions.
