CMHA worker terminated after
lone hearsay allegation of misdeed
AFTER a group was set up on
Facebook of disgruntled former
employees of the Canadian Men-
tal Health Association (CMHA)
disparaging the employer, its ex-
ecutive director was advised that
a current employee was an active
member of the group.
Leslie Ferraro worked as a
transition-house worker for the
CMHA for more than 17 years
at Kootenay Haven Transition
House in Cranbrook, B.C. but she
was abruptly fired on April 25,
2018 for belonging to the group.

Moncton, N.B. hotel employee fired
after second employment discovered
A BREAKFAST attendant at a hotel was ter-
minated after the employer found out she also
worked for a Tim Horton's restaurant in Monc-
ton, N.B.
Wanita Mallory began work at the Rodd Monc-
ton hotel in 2014. In the beginning, Mallory
worked in the laundry, but she eventually became
a full-time breakfast attendant.
However, Mallory's hours began to decline in
2017, she testified, after she raised issues about the
working conditions of the hotel. By the end of her
employment, Mallory was scheduled for about 25
to 28 hours of work per week.
Due to the stress of less income from the
$12.76-per-hour position, Mallory developed
blood pressure problems and had bouts of crying,
she said.
On April 5, 2019, Mallory informed her super-
visor, identified as "ST," that she needed to book
off the following day's shift due to poor health. ST
