If your mother finds it “basically impossible” to get rid of poor performer she might want to read their collective agreement. The steps for how an employee can be terminated are generally in there. Perhaps she should also assess her own job performance as a manager if so many of her employees are underperforming.

Meanwhile she has a few new to Canada employees supporting their families working under her with 3x the work ethic that she cant offer full-time positions to because they're taken up by some of the aforementioned employees. Bringing up c0oncerns about the low-performers results in something along the lines of "conflict resolution" meetings with a union rep that she says basically becomes glorified babysitting and progress reports.

With all the new positions added to AHS over the last few years you would think those employees would have been able to fill one of them or replace an employee from an existing position who took a new one. It’s not as if existing unionized employees can fill two different positions. (not sure of the exact numbers as far as new AHS positions but according to some posters on this site almost all of the jobs created in Alberta over the last few years were in the public sector so there had to have been a handful in AHS)
