The New York Post published an article that said that the four sanitation supervisors actually sat in their cars for hours last Monday night while they were assigned to clear away the NYC snow. If this is true, it is completely unacceptable. It makes little sense that they would do something like this? People throughout the city were counting on them to clear the roads – people’s lives and safety were at risk in New York City.

This is just the latest criticism that the New York City Department of Sanitation is dealing with over its handling of the massive blizzard that literally shut down the city last week. There are even rumors that supervisors deliberately tried to slow down the cleanup measures. That also makes little sense, but the rumors say that it was retaliation for budget cuts. Dan Halloran, a New York City Councilman, actually had sanitation workers come to him to make the allegations about the deliberate slowdown in an effort to get overtime and show the city how much they were needed. Wow, this is pretty shocking!
There are also reports that about 10% of NYC sanitation workers called in sick or used emergency during the two days after the major NYC snow storm last week. That is an unusually high number – normally 2 to 4% of the workforce is sick.
