P.E.I. school maintenance worker
grieves after being denied job post
EVEN THOUGH he was the
most senior candidate, an em-
ployee with the Public Schools
Branch in Prince Edward Island
wasn't awarded a posting as a
carpenter.
In 2017, the public school
body published a job notice, with
a closing date of Dec. 14, for a
carpenter position. Donald McK-
enna held a Red Seal Carpentry
2A designation and had experi-
ence in commercial institutions,
both of which were required in
the posting.
The job notice stated the
Courier truck driver fired in Edmonton
after getting into fight with coworker
AFTER A DISPUTE turned into a fight on a
loading dock between a truck driver and another
worker, the pair were both terminated.
On Aug. 25, 2017, Daniel Araia, an owner-oper-
ator with Loomis Express in Edmonton, pulled up
to the company's warehouse to accept a delivery of
freight.
The normal practice was for those delivering
freight to place the object onto a skid and then
move away so the driver could put it into a truck.
But Travis Simpson delivered freight for Araia
without skids on that day.
Araia asked for it to be placed onto a skid, but
Simpson objected and he yelled at Araia. "I could
put it in a certain way but you wouldn't fucking
like it."
Araia quickly got angry and approached
Simpson. The pair began to yell at each other
and Simpson pushed or hit Araia. Both workers
then commenced a brief fight that came to blows.
