Vinyl Barrier Information For Tomorrow June 8th 2020

As most of you know the vinyl barrier obstructs your vision on the right passenger side door and mirror, supervisors have been out telling operators that come tomorrow morning if you cant see through your right passenger side to call 104 and they will come out and do the adjusting for you, we have asked 104 and they have not yet been given this information. If you do call 104 please be patient with them these are our brothers and sisters they are just doing as directed, if they don't they could be disciplined for insubordination.
