What the record shows
City officials accused an airport catering vendor of violating a municipal heat and safety ordinance. A city inspector reported that some of the company's trucks did not have functioning air conditioning.
A worker who raised the matter before the city council was subsequently suspended, according to the union. The company stated it maintains strict safety policies and that appropriate action was taken under its guidelines.
Evidence gap
A municipal inspector was able to record the condition of a vehicle. No equivalent mechanism records the temperature of the food that vehicle was carrying at the time.
This entry records an inspection finding and a disputed employment matter. It asserts no conclusion on either.
