On Your Side: Government Workers Say Building Makes Them Sick

WASHINGTON - Some government workers say their offices are making them sick. We went inside the HUD building they say is at the center of the problem.

Three thousand people work inside the building. If you ask some HUD employees if the building makes people sick, some say yes.

HUD employee Jamita Fleming said, "If i'm off on vacation for like a week or two, I don't have any respiratory problems and when I come back I get the problems again."

Others don't think the building is making them sick.

"People do say that, but I think some people like to complain in general," said June Stewart, an HUD employee.

The building is drab and of the so-called "brutalist architecture" of the late 1960s, corridors with so little outside light some people say it's 10 floors of basement. The union complains that with years of off and on roof leaks, internal spills, and stagnant air there are problems.
