Two employees at a United States Postal Service facility in White Plains have tested positive for coronavirus.
One of the employees is in the hospital, while the other is recovering at home.
Many employees within the facility say they are concerned for their health and safety and are not looking forward to returning.
“People have families to go home to,” says USPS maintenance mechanic Harold Brown “We have kids. We have elderly people that we’re around, young people and it’s not right.”
The United States Postal Service recently issued a statement that said the health and well-being of employees is one of their highest priorities. They say they are monitoring the situation and following recommended strategies from government health agencies.
The USPS for the Northeast region hired a contract cleaner, but employees say there is a shortage of cleaning products.
We have a MDO that says if we follow the CDC guidelines and self quarantine that we will face discipline for exceeding the 3 day max duration without doctor documentation. We can not get tested here in Minnesota unless you are sick enough to be admitted to the hospital. The clinics just ask you questions then tell you to stay home until you get better. So the “We care about our employee’s” is pure rhetoric. SAD !!!!
As a former postal employee, management said the same thing, the health, safety and well being of employees is top priority, which is alot of BS. Management cares about two things, themselves and getting the mail delivered. They never have and never will care one bit about their employees, anyone who believes otherwise needs to see the Wizard of Oz and ask for a new brain because your current one isn’t working.
Any clue how they got it?
