AN ONTARIO worker was dis-
missed during her probationary
period because she wasn't work-
ing out, not because of her ethnic-
ity or marital status.
The Eastern Ontario Regional
Laboratory Association (EORLA)
provided surgical pathology ser-
vices to the eastern region of On-
tario. Under EORLA's collective
agreement, new hires must com-
plete a probationary period of 675
hours.
EORLA hired the worker as a

surgeries to be diagnosed — in
Tentative deals
Office, technical staff at
Cogeco in Montreal agree to
new contract
AN ONTARIO long-term care worker who
slapped a resident who sexually assaulted her should
be disciplined for resident abuse but not dismissed.
The worker was a terrace assistant at Rideau-
crest Home, a long-term care home in Kingston,
Ont. She was hired in 1991 and had no discipline
on her record.
Many of the residents at Rideaucrest had demen-
tia, so the worker sometimes experienced incidents
such as being spit on, pinched, kicked, and she had
food thrown at her. She generally followed Rideau-
crest policy not to respond, recognizing that the res-
idents were vulnerable and depended on staff. Staff
received annual training on the code of conduct and
dealing with residents with dementia.
One particular resident was a male with demen-
tia who had a tendency to sexually touch female staff
and other residents. He was given one-to-one su-
pervision to protect others from his behaviour, but
