Too Much Perfume Raises A Stink

The City of Portland is implementing a policy that asks employees not to wear perfume and colognes. Gerry Jenkins is a 20-year City employee and has a severe allergic sensitivity to multiple chemicals. She experiences extreme fatigue, chronic dizziness, chronic, sorta brain fog; burning in her eyes, burning in her nose and headaches. Her fellow employees all agreed to stop wearing scents and her problems went away. The policy will set up a way employees can go to managers to discuss issues with other employees. It’s not a ban and there is no discipline for employees who don't follow the guidelines.
