Interesting how much the union went to bat for her immediately.
Quote:
Within hours of finding out Elizabeth Wettlaufer was suspended for making a medication error, the Ontario Nurses' Association (ONA) filed a grievance on her behalf, a public inquiry heard Thursday.
There was no investigation about why Wettlaufer was being suspended or whether she had put patients at the Caressant Care nursing home in Woodstock, Ont., at risk. Last June, Wettlaufer was convicted of eight counts of first-degree murder, four counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault.

Sad that a murder could have been prevented if the union hadn't been so quick to step up. On the news last night the union case manager(I think) was on the stand and asked if she had experience to evaluate Wettlaufer's case. She said no, then she was asked if she used the resources available to her(the union apparently has people who could have evaluated) she said no.
Shouldn't a union make sure whoever they are defending was dismissed for good cause before going in full defence mode? Or are they required to defend no matter what?
