Forestry Workers,CDL Requirements,Fired

All three remaining forestry workers for Mobile County Public Schools were fired during a special called board meeting Wednesday morning, according to a school

board member who tried to save their jobs. One of the workers, Charles Brinkman, says he was days away from becoming a tenured employee.

Instead, Brinkman says his family will now be without health insurance and a steady paycheck. He was at Maryvale Elementary School taking down a fence when he says his supervisor called him and his crew back to the office to receive the news the school board voted to fire them. The terminations were discussed behind closed doors during executive session. Only brief public remarks were offered by school board member Johnny Hatcher, who voted to keep the workers.
