Hawkesbury, Ont. hospital secretary
suspended after child's record accessed
WHEN AN employee at the
Hawkesbury and District Gen-
eral Hospital in Hawkesbury, Ont.
tried to access a patient's file, she
was blocked by the computerized
records system as it showed an-
other employee was currently in
the file.
Céline Thauvette had worked
at the hospital for 16 years with
no discipline but on Sept. 14,
2018 around 10 a.m., she was ad-
vised by fellow employee Michelle
Claude that she needed to get into
a newborn baby's file to change
the name of the treating doctor.
Unifor files grievance when Irving Paper
contracts out snow-clearing at mill
AFTER a review of snow-clearing practices at
the Irving Pulp and Paper Mill in Saint John, N.B.,
the employer contracted out the last area that was
previously done by employees.
"[Irving] already contracts out the vast major-
ity of snow removal on the mill property and in the
past, the use of supply and services employees to
do a small portion of the snow removal has been
a significant disruption to that department. We
believe that it is more efficient to utilize the skills
of our supply and services employees doing core
work within that department," said Cory Gallant,
mill manager in response to a grievance filed by
Unifor, Local 30 on Oct. 19, 2018.
But the employer violated the collective agree-
ment, said the union, when it contracted Gulf Op-
erators to do snow removal for that area of the Irving
Paper plant..
In the past, employees of the supply and
services unit were called out to complete snow
