KERRY SACKED BECAUSE SHE WAS A DELEGATE

On Thursday, 8 June, The Advertiser reported how an LHMU aged care member, Kerry Rattray, was "sacked because she was a delegate".

Kerry has been an excellent delegate at the Gawler based Martindale Nursing Home in WA since August 2005. A staff member approached Kerry about an alleged incident where they had witnessed another worker abusing a resident.

Kerry encouraged the staff member to formally report the incident to management and was later sacked herself. The LHMU believe that Kerry should be reinstated. The Office of Workplace Services are currently investigating the matter and the LHMU are preparing a case for Kerry's reinstatement.

Please help by giving your support to Kerry and send a message to Martindale on any of the details below and ask for Kerry's reinstatement.
