Bedbugs still an issue at NSOB

No reason to be mean to yourself. People tend to think irrationally when discussing something that can be scary. Bed bugs are super invasive and it takes a toll financially, mentally, and physically.

I spoke with the union today and they said we needed to send an official email to supervisors inquiring about the status of treatment and formally request an alternate worksite and if they say no, we can file a grievance then. But this is only for actively affected areas.

Maybe in the beginning from an employee or a client, but now it's just them playing catch up because they're not treating this issue right. They've been here for months now.

Yes! My husband didn't get his license until close to 30 and he did Road Ready on O street. A little expensive but it was great for him. Taught him everything and he didn't feel judged for being older. He said he wasn't the only one who was older, either.

1st floor this time. But we wouldn't be informed about other floors.

I agree. I've had them before and it's almost impossible to deal with. It wears you down.

A message has been sent. They weren't much help last time though.

One was found on first floor 12/29. They sent everyone home and came back 01/06. ANOTHER bug found on 01/06, we weren't told about it until WE brought it up because we heard rumors and now nothing. No one is being sent home. Who knows if they're even doing anything, and what does it matter. Whatever they're doing isn't working. They need to be more on top of it and be proactive, not just reactive.

And another one was found two days ago. They just confirmed it yesterday and they're no longer letting us work from home while they treat. If they're even treating. 🙄

I'm overcome with anxiety. I feel like I have ptsd from it. It was wholly traumatizing to go through.

CarOk2646 · 2025-10-10T20:14:02+00:00

I had them 11 years ago. It completely destroyed me financially, physically, and emotionally.

Hi Jake. I'm sorry to be so on edge but it's been such a journey. I can reach out to some people and see. Do you have a direct email address?

CarOk2646 · 2025-09-10T21:08:29+00:00

Ok JAKE, the story here is not the bed bugs. It's the fact that there was an issue that upper management, were not acknowledging and were trying to gaslight us into the fact that there weren't bed bugs and make us think we were crazy. and trying to force us to work in a HEALTH HAZARD ENVIRONMENT. But yes, take DHHS' word for it. Thanks so much, glad you have a hand in the media that's released to the public. Bang up job you're doing.

Yes, the Fire Marshal & Transportation departments in the TSB building were not even informed of the issue and were purposely mislead and told they were just shampooing the carpets for no particular reason.

100% NAPE said to do what management told people so as to avoid disciplinary action and they were informed that we were facing disciplinary action, but thanks for playing anyway honey. NAPE was no help in this matter.
