Foul bawl at shelter

THESE WORK conditions stink.

Raw sewage flooded the basement of the Charles H. Gay Men’s Shelter on Wards Island, where employees have their locker rooms — and it isn’t the first time.

“It floods raw sewage — it happens every time there is a major rain event,” Derek Jackson, director of Teamsters Local 237’s law enforcement division, fumed.

Jackson’s union represents Department of Homeless Services peace officers who provide security at city shelters — and have had to put up with locker rooms strewn with feces, urine and toilet paper, he said, citing a previous flood that made headlines in 2015.

But that might change — after an inquiry from the Daily News, shelter operator HELP USA said it would try to find a new spot for the locker rooms.

Jackson said the situation is dire. “If you were ever allowed in with a camera to see what’s there, you would shiver.” he said.
