Video of the Day: the screaming banshees.

Today's video of the day took place almost immediately after the video featured yesterday.

This one involved SAIL staffers, Wiltah and Marga, yelling and shrieking as they verbally harass one of their former co-workers, who is coming to work to provide Self Managed Care for a non-SAIL using member.



The creepy part starts at around 2:30, when AUPE negotiator, Kevin Davediuk, starts yelling out to her, "thanks for giving us your address."

So he's basically saying, "we know where you live" in an obvious attempt at intimidation.

From AUPE's negotiator.

Aimed at someone whom he should have nothing to do with at all.

She's not a union member.

It turns out it's actually quite easy to leave a union.  All you have to do is fill out some paperwork and send it in.

So what he's also doing is confirming that not only did AUPE receive the form, but that he knows about it,

...and her private information that was on it.

...and is using that information to try and intimidate her.

Remember; this is the guy SAIL is supposed to negotiate a collective agreement with.

A collective agreement for the women that are screaming like banshees as they harass a former co-worker, and the other former co-workers looking on.

This?

This is an example of why SAIL users didn't want the staff back, and why a lock-out was filed for.

Imagine, for a moment, that you need home care.  Imagine being a wheelchair user who needs help transferring between bed and chair.  Or needing help taking a shower.  Or eat a meal.  Or even just needing a few minutes help putting on pressure socks, or rubbing lotion on your feet as part of diabetic care.

Now imagine that these women are the ones who might be providing that care.

That's the stuff of nightmares.
