Maintenance workers in the small west Beaver County town of Milford are back on the job Wednesday, one day after resigning their positions in a dispute over personnel and other undisclosed issues.
Councilman Les Whitney said the walkout was limited to four full-time workers who tend to municipal parks and roads.
However, Councilman Les Whitney said the reports were inaccurate, adding the walkout was limited to four full-time workers who tend to municipal parks and roads. According to a news release issued Wednesday afternoon, the mayor and council were informed about the resignations Tuesday morning and convened an emergency meeting that same day to “discuss options to keep our valued city crew members and the city operations running smoothly.”
“The reason we did that is because [people on] Facebook turned this into a monetary issue,” Whitney continued. “We wanted the public to realize that this is what [the pay and benefits] they got.” Milford shut down its city offices Wednesday and staff did not return phone calls while Davis and Whitney huddled with the maintenance workers.
