MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) Milwaukee will drop American Sewer Services as a city contractor. The city terminated the relationship on Wednesday after a disturbing photo involving three employees.
That picture showed a cooler at a job site last year with stickers of the Ku Klux Klan and the Confederate battle flag. That worker is no longer employeed by American Sewer Services. Three employees near the cooler were also photographed with guns at a job site. One was a temporary worker who is no longer with the company. Two others were reassigned.
The Milwaukee Common Council’s Public Works Committee has also kept open the option to take further action against American Sewer Services, as an investigation is still ongoing.
The Council has already passed a rule that says city contractors must follow the same work rules as city employees, including a ban on weapons.
