How Much Does UNA Care for Employees?

Guest Editorial:

Once again UNA has proven that the welfare of their employees are not high priority. Well, at least, SOME of their employees. All along, we have been told our target return date was May 26. Even as of last Thursday we were instructed that we would need to be planning on returning May 26 with restrictions such as staggering employee work times, etc. We were also told that any employee who didn’t feel comfortable returning could submit a letter for approval to continue working from home stating if they had circumstances that may put them or their family at greater risk. 

Now as of 2:00 today we were informed...we would all be back at 7:30 am tomorrow morning! (So much for giving employees time to make arrangements) No phasing employees in, staggering or anything! If we choose not to come....we can use our vacation time! 

Now when I say SOME of their employees are of more importance, they have blatantly informed us that “department chairs and administrative assistants” will be allowed to work from home until July 6. When questioned why we should risk exposure and they shouldn’t...Cindy Conlon was quick to inform us that “we shouldn’t worry about what others were doing.” I have attached copies of what we have been sent.
