1.🧵focused on new info. contained in the recent arbitration award (@ufcw401 & @Cargill) concerning Cargill's response to the April 2020 COVID-19 outbreak associated w/ its High River plant, in particular decision to close the plant.

2. The COVID-19 outbreak at Cargill's High River plant has been called the largest in NA during the pandemic.

AB public health officials summarized the significant health impact on workers and "close contacts" in an internal June 2020 report. Image
3. Given this, it is surprising that the Cargill outbreak is not even mentioned once in AB's official review of the province's response to the pandemic. It doesn't even appear in the report's timeline. open.alberta.ca/publications/p…

1. Latest government statement in response to calls for an investigation of Speaker Weekes allegations of harassment and threats of violence via @WayneMantykaCTV. Short🧵
Image
2. At least two steps in the Assembly's harassment process (detailed in the 🧵 below) would be tricky to navigate given the unique circumstances of this case.
3. First, the potential complainant (Speaker Weekes) would be required to make his complaint to the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel (pictured left). This branch also provides "strategic legal advice and legal opinions to the Speaker..." (pictured right).

1. Why Speaker Randy Weekes' allegations of harassment and threats of violence -- a near head butt, someone lunging towards him, intimidating gestures, harassing text messages -- must be independently and thoroughly investigated.

🧵
2. Like other workplaces in Saskatchewan, the Legislative Assembly is required by law to have a harassment policy.

The Assembly’s "Anti-Harassment Code of Conduct" expressly defines and prohibits harassment. legassembly.sk.ca/mlas/codes-of-…
3. Without passing judgement, Weekes' untested allegations clearly fall within the scope of the definition of harassment in the Code (see i. and ii. below). Image

1. The deaths of SaskPower workers Scott Bill & Cole Crooks is devastating.

As Douglas notes, the recent court decision SHOULD be reviewed by employers, supervisors & workers where people are working at heights (10' or +3 meters). @SCSAonline #canlab

An injury prevention 🧵
2. First, some background to this case is summarized in this post...
3. I'm going to refer to the hierarchy of controls (HoC) often here.

For those who are unfamiliar with the HoC, it's an intuitive framework for controlling hazards, with "elimination" of the hazard being the most effective and "PPE" the least effective. worksafebc.com/en/health-safe…Image

1. Speaker @randyweekes has alleged harassment & threats of violence: a near headbutt, someone lunging towards him, intimidating gestures, text messages, and even a gun in the Legislature. These are very serious allegations that must be investigated.

A long 🧵...
2. These allegations come at a time when there are more reports about bullying and harassment by local, municipal, and federal politicians. For example, Alicia Bridges @CBCSask's 2018 report entitled "Toxic Towns" newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/toxic…
3. There continue to be reports of harassment at Saskatchewan rural municipalities --and it's not only politicians that are the alleged perpetrators. From January 2024: "RCMP begin investigation into harassment of CAO" (Fort Times). Image

1. A footnote on the making of Saskatchewan's pronoun bill.

Long 🧵 highlighting an @angusreidorg (ARI) poll that was widely publicized on August 28th, six days after the school pronoun policy was announced.
2. Before diving into the issue, I want to state upfront that my interest is in improving transparency in public opinion polling.

It stems from a research project that Andrew Stevens and I conducted between 2011-2015.

You can read about it here: lltjournal.ca/index.php/llt/…Image
3. Back to the ARI poll...days after SK's controversial school pronoun policy was announced ARI published results from a poll they had conducted in late-July 2023 about New Brunswick's school pronoun policy. angusreid.org/canada-schools…Image
