Paladin Security Group, Alberta Overtime Laws (Violation, Harassment, Favoritism)
Jun 18, 2011
To the Scheduler- DON'T YELL THAT OT IS PAID AT 96 HOURS, WHEN THE LAW CLEARLY STATES IT IS FOR ANYTHING OVER 88! DON'T CALL YOUR STAFF "STUPID" WHEN THEY TRY TO ASSERT WHAT THE LAW SAYS. DON'T YELL AND SAY "I KNOW THE LAW" WHEN IN FACT YOU DON'T. YELLING ANY LOUDER DOESN'T CHANGE THE LAW. SOUNDS LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR JOB. WHAT ARE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS ANYWAY? SHAME ON YOU. YOU SHOULD TREAT YOUR EMPLOYEES WITH RESPECT. WITHOUT THEM YOU WOULD NOT HAVE A JOB. FOR A COMPANY THAT MAKES 20 MILLION A YEAR ON THE AHS CONTRACT ALONE, YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO DO WHAT THE LAW SAYS AND PAY OVERTIME ACCORDING TO THE LAW. FOR A SECURITY COMPANY THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HELP ENFORCE RULES, LAWS, AND REGULATIONS, YOU VIOLATE LAWS WHEN IT IS CONVENIENT FOR YOU AND WHEN YOU THINK YOU CAN HIDE IT FROM THE PUBLIC'S VIEW. FOR A COMPANY THAT TALKS ABOUT SUPPORTING ITS EMPLOYEES, YELLING, SCREAMING, THREATENING AND HARASSING THEM RUNS OPPOSITE TO WHAT YOU PREACH. JUST LIKE THE EMPLOYEES YOU FIRED RECENTLY AND HAD TO PAY THEM OUT WHEN THEIR LAWYERS GOT INVOLVED. AND PHONING ONLY THE GUARDS YOU LIKE FOR SHIFTS AND IGNORING EVERYONE ELSE, IS CALLED FAVORITISM. GUARDS- STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS. JUST BE CAREFUL BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW THE COMPANY WILL FIRE YOU AT THE DROP OF A HAT BECAUSE THE PUBLIC DOESN'T KNOW. LIKE LIVING IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP WHERE THE BATTERER DOESN'T WANT FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO KNOW.

Got Thirst? Will Alberta's Water Law leave you high and dry?
Aug 26, 2010
In the Fall of 2008, Minister Rob Renner announced the province would do a review of water rights and the allocation system. Since then there has been NO public outreach or consultation on what the changes should look like. Instead the government commissioned 3 committees to provide recommendations. The recommendations do not challenge the present-day First in Time, First in Right (FITFIR) system, and rather focus solely on market-based solutions, with some recommendations going further to call for a deregulation of protections and public oversight we already have. The Government is using these recommendations to draft their revisions to the province's Water Act. Only when the major direction and decisions have been determined will the public be allowed to comment. Additionally treaty responsibilities that demand First Nations provide free, prior and informed consent before changes to water allocation and use be developed are also not being met by the Government of Alberta.
