HSC nurses respond to union call for details on violence, safety concerns
5 minute read Yesterday at 6:54 PM CDTDozens of nurses have stepped forward with accounts of violence, theft and security concerns on the Health Sciences Centre campus, just a day after their union asked members to share their experiences as it prepares for grievance hearings with the provincial health authority.
“It is not a safe environment, and you can only talk so much about it until you finally say, ‘We are done talking, and we need to take action here,’” Darlene Jackson, president of the Manitoba Nurses Union said Thursday.
“We feel it’s time they take this seriously.”
The union has filed a grievance against Shared Health, citing safety concerns in parkades and surface parking lots surrounding HSC, and an arbitration hearing is slated for early December.

5 minute read 2:00 AM CDTAs Manitoba schools warn about a teacher shortage, an internationally trained educator and her family are bemoaning the bureaucracy required to become fully certified and unclear instructions that have left them in limbo.
Manitoba Education’s certification unit is refusing to grant an experienced computer science teacher accreditation to work on a permanent basis despite a miscommunication about her outstanding credits and a university dean vouching for her skills.
“Somebody has to apply some logic or reasoning or something to that unit. To me, this is bureaucracy at its worst,” said Dalbir Bains, whose wife has spent more than five years working towards becoming a certified teacher.
Semantics and officials’ unwillingness to consider the unique situation have caused unnecessary stress and delays, Bains said.
