Medford City Hall Employees File Complaint Over Mold, Asbestos In Building

Aug 17, 2022

MEDFORD, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Employees at Medford City Hall and their union are filing a complaint against the city over what they're calling "filthy conditions" that are putting their health at risk.   https://wbznewsradio.iheart.com/content/medford-city-hall-employees-file-complaint-over-mold-asbestos-in-building/

The complaint alleges the city hall building has unsafe working conditions, including things like black mold, asbestos, exposed electrical wires, standing water, and pests both alive and dead like rats and cockroaches. Elections Coordinator Sandra Burbine-Gale joined Teamsters Local 25 in filing the complaint with the state Department of Labor Standards.

Burbine-Gale told WBZ's James Rojas she spends a lot of her time in the city hall basement as she prepares for next month's primary elections and the conditions are starting to take a toll on her health.

"I have several allergies to mold and I have to test voting machines," she said. "What's under these bandages is the result of scratching all night."

She said she's not the only one who is having issues though.
