The Public Service Alliance Of Canada: Atlantic

Jeannie Baldwin Dept: Jeannie Baldwin, the Atlantic regional executive vice-president for the Public Service Alliance of Canada, said she's concerned about the safety of employees who are alone as they approach homes as part of an "examination" being conducted while the EI program undergoes an overhaul, according to CBC. "People are kind of wary right now when you have strangers knocking on their door." The union that represents federal employees visiting Employment Insurance recipients at home is asking the federal government to stop the door-to-door visits because of concern for the workers' safety. "They're working alone, they're out there, people don't know who these people are," she said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
