Cook County Jail officers want to be paid for after-work time spent sanitizing over COVID-19 – Chicago Sun-Times

Eleven officers filed suit Tuesday in federal court in Chicago, asking for at least one work week of compensation for “sanitation activities” since March 9. The officers want to be paid for up to 30 minutes they spend after every shift sanitizing themselves and their personal protective equipment. The cleanups are an “expected job function,” according to the lawsuit.
