CUPE grieves after Sackville, N.B.,
doesn't post for 2 open positions
WHEN TWO positions opened
at the Town of Sackville, N.B., in
tourism and crosswalk-guard

quadriplegic, didn't speak and had a feeding tube
(stoma) in his stomach — into the shower room.
AB's toe hit the door on the way in, which troubled
Heuso so she then took control of the wheelchair.
After they placed AB beneath the shower,
Davis worked too quickly, said Heuso, and she
didn't check the water temperature, as required.
After AB reacted negatively to the water, Heuso
checked and found it was too cold.
