Union - Wendell Hensell stated boots were part of PPE's for work crew supervisors. For watching inmates pick up trash, working in parks, do not need special shoes. Union - This is not what was heard at statewide labor management meeting. Cannot answer to labor management meeting. W. Hensell has not said anything other than if required for specific job, the state would provide.
Concern is boots being passed from staff to staff.
Greg has been asking for clarification of how will be handled. M. McGee is curious to see what other institutions do. If handled as regular staff uniforms. Fitted masks - direction going may be to take the SCBA's out of the control center. Management has asked Greg to look at the feasibility of some other type of mask.
