Essex Recycling Center Employees Detail Constant Verbal Abuse at Work

Essex, England recycling centers' employees have spoken out about the constant abuse they endure while on the job.

The Essex County Council has said that one employee had been told to “watch yourself when you leave work” at one of its sites.
