Edmonton police officer grieves
after being shut out of promotion
A GUILTY plea for improperly
storing a firearm was enough to
deny an Edmonton police office
from being considered for a pro-
motion to sergeant.
Constable Sam Najmeddine
had worked at the Edmonton Po-
lice Service since 2003 in various
departments including acting ser-
geant in three separate divisions.
During the arbitration hearing,
Najmeddine testified he was ad-
vised on numerous occasions by
senior officers to "run the squad

Vancouver nurse denied special leave
to provide care for ailing child at home
Employer didn't believe
sickness was 'serious'
A NURSE working at a hospital in Vancouver was
denied pay when she left work to care for her sick
child.
Elina Barsky had worked at St. Paul's Hospital
since 2004 as a registered nurse when she received
a frantic Friday morning call around 8 a.m. on
Nov. 4, 2016. Her husband advised her that their
10-year-old daughter was feverish, had flu-like
symptoms and was vomiting.
Since Barsky was a nurse, she asked the charge
nurse if she could go home and care for her daugh-
ter. As there was another nurse working who
could take over Barsky's duties, she was given per-
mission to go home.
Before she did, she made sure her patients were
stable and waited for the other nurse to take over.
