Around 12:30 p.m., 14 protesters sat down in the street, which is a private roadway leading to several area businesses, including a driving school, the Enfield Housing Authority and a Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles branch. After about 10 minutes, Police Chief Alaric Fox informed the group they were in violation of several Connecticut statutes, risking arrest if they did not comply with a request to move out of the road.
Fox issued two more requests to the group, but none of the protesters moved despite being subject to arrest. After the third appeal was ignored, Enfield police officers escorted them one person at a time to a nearby parking lot, where they were each issued a summons for creating a public disturbance. The infraction carries a fine of $103.
The top executive at Allied disputes the claims of the home care workers, and questioned the decision to protest at the Pearson Way headquarters, when the payroll division is actually located at a building in the East Windsor Industrial Park.
