Town to implement zero tolerance on staff abuse
Battleford town hall will be posting signs inside a number of its facilities where staff serve residents to advise the public that any verbal or physical abuse will not be tolerated.
“Administration brought it forward because nobody deserves to be yelled at, or be faced with profanity, no matter where you work or where you serve,” said Mayor Ames Leslie following council Monday. “This is just one more step to help notify the residents as they come in that frustrations are always there, but please do it in a respectful way.”
Leslie said if any individuals have grievances or are upset about something they can speak to the town administrator or call the mayor directly.
“Please don’t take it out on the staff or the employees at the Town of Battleford,” he said. “These signs will be one more step that it won’t be tolerated.”
