Editorial: Florida’s state workers deserve more information about COVID infections
Following the explosive story by Lawrence Mower on the lack of transparency for state workers concerning COVID-19 exposure, the editorial board for Florida's largest newspaper weighed in.
"State agencies need clearer and more standardized policies for employees to work from home or satellite locations," wrote the Tampa Bay Times Editorial Board. "And employees need timely notice of when colleagues are infected. Much of the angst here can be resolved by having more open lines of communication at state offices and by managers removing any fear employees have in discussing COVID-19."
The editorial is further proof that AFSCME Florida's actions on behalf of members across the state has gotten notice in the community...and by employers!
