GENEVA: Johnson Controls, as we understand is Reliable in Geneva, issued a directive to all employees today.
Coming from the SR HR Generalist, Lynntesha ( Lynn ) Henley, the email was addressed to a number of people but titled VOLUNTEER FIRE & RESCUE PROGRAM - SUSPENSION.
Ms. Henley, if the same one I found on Facebook, resides in Dothan. The directive reads "Effective immediately the Volunteer Fire & Rescue Program is SUSPEND until further notice. We do understand the importance of this program to the local community however until rules and regulations are put into place to ensure accountability and a productive work environment here at JCI, any departure to participate must be approved by your supervisor and will be considered an unpaid occurrence."
A lot of the volunteer members of Geneva Fire and Geneva Rescue are employees of Johnson Controls, in Geneva as we understand Reliable. The memorandum was dated November 8, 2019, and some 4 days later the temperature is 32 degrees.
The chances are greater for a structure fire now with the weather change from warm to cold. Yesterday it was like in the 60 to 70 degree range and tonight the temperature is 32 degrees when I checked time and temperature at 9:00 PM.
This is serious business to the health, safety and welfare of the people of Geneva and the surrounding area. And mental trauma to the men and women who work there because when they hear their fellow community members in danger and they can not respond it works on them mentally.
If Lynntesha ( Lynn ) Henley that I found on FACEBOOK that resides in Dothan, her health, welfare and safety are by a paid fire department which operates with 175 full time employees and a $ 14 million dollar budget. The workforce that her Directive is sent to, their community is protected by those who risk their lives, health and welfare to save their neighbors in the community.
Also Henley's Directive is contrary the Johnson Controls definitions below on their web site. Their fire supression section of the web site reads "HELPING SAVE LIVES AND PROTECT PROPERTY" but Ms. Henley does as most do, especially Corporate America, we do not care!!!
The fireman and women, the EMS men and women now must make a choice, leave and save lives and property or continue to work with tears flowing down their cheeks so they will not loose a paycheck in order to continue to feed their own family and keep their homes.
And I have been very surprised at how many people believe the same as Ms. Henley and Johnson Controls. They speak one way but their actions are totally different. They really do not care or understand and had rather not fix the problems to save lives and property, just complain about those who do care about lives and property and devote their time and energies, risk their own life, to save lives and property.
If your loved one dies because no one to respond to the medical emergency, if your child dies because no one to respond to the medical emergency, if your home burns because no one to respond to the fire, I will confirm the Lynntesha ( Lynn ) Henley I found on FACEBOOK ( and the picture is saved ) post the picture so you will know who it is that has prevented the employee from responding.
And I promise you that employee who has served with fire and EMS, will have tears flowing down their cheeks knowing they can help but their family must eat while yours dies.
