Remember those signs at construction sites that state 鈥渕en at work鈥�?
Those are not supposed to be posted anymore. With equal-opportunity workforces and with more women earning a living in the construction industry, you鈥檙e more likely to see signs that say 鈥渨orkers present.鈥�
But Councillor Kelli Hawtin noticed 鈥渕en at work鈥� signs up as North Battleford city employees were doing tree-trimming, and raised the issue at council Monday.
鈥淲e鈥檝e talked about this as well over the years,鈥� said Hawtin. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 sort of not terminology we should have within our city organization. We have 鈥榳orkers present.鈥欌�� Hawtin also said she was under the impression the 鈥榤en at work鈥� signs were out of circulation.
City Manager Randy Patrick agreed with Hawtin, calling it 鈥渁 pet peeve of mine.鈥� He pledged to see what they would do to replace the signs.
鈥淭hey are a problem and they should not be available anymore.鈥�
