Let me make a correction on my earlier post, there were a total of 3 assaults yesterday: 1 spitting, 1 stabbing and 1 physical/intimidation. So that would be a total of 5 assaults in the month of January, and the month isn't even over yet.
Hopefully our fellow coworkers are doing okay including (if confirmed) the stabbing survivor, our Collective thoughts and prayers or with each and every one and their families.
If confirmed, the stabbing incident would be the 4th such incident since 2013.
One day hopefully there will be light at the end of the tunnel so that our fellow coworkers can feel some semblance of "reasonable safety" out there on the road.
Be vigilant, be safe and always communicate.

With the information available, we can confirm only the 1 possibly 2 assaults; the stabbing was unrelated (thank goodness) and unable to confirm the spitting. Although with the physical intimidation, sources said there was unlawful contact by the assailant (but at this time we can confirm that the assailant was in the operators space). This would make it 4 total.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for their input on this matter, the more discussion we have the better we are at bringing this issue forward so that it cannot be ignored. If one member gets hurt we all hurt.
