The assessment was commissioned after numerous allegations of bullying and sexism came to light in a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/warktimes.com\/2021\/04\/13\/its-got-to-stop-firefighters-call-for-an-end-to-bullying-harassment-and-favouritism-in-sackville-fire-rescue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stories by local journalist Bruce Wark<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wark spoke to several former firefighters who said they tried many times over the course of years to bring their concerns to the attention of the town\u2019s management, including former CAO Phil Handrahan and current CAO Jamie Burke. Thurston says she tried to meet with CAO Jamie Burke regarding her particular issues, but a meeting was denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CAO\u2019s place at the top of the \u201cchain of command\u201d is part of the reason Thurston sees the current path of the assessment, with a complete confidential report going to the CAO who would then summarize it for council, as a potential \u201cconflict of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Hear Laura Thurston in conversation on Tantramar Report:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Laura-Thurston-July-5-2021.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn this case, I feel that the Chief Administrative Officer being the administrator for the workplace assessment creates a conflict of interest because he is a direct chain of command official for the members of Sackville Fire and Rescue,\u201d says Thurston. \u201cHe is one of the people that we go to, that we report to, that we deal with on a regular basis. So my request to council, and I feel it&#8217;s very fair, is that they discuss, and consider approving, obtaining a full, detailed report directly from Montana Consulting, and not obtain that report from the Chief Administrative Officer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayor Shawn Mesheau&#8217;s response to Thurston\u2019s request was lukewarm. Mesheau said he felt council should wait until the process being conducted by Montana Consulting was complete before discussing the matter with the CAO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCouncil is not in a position to move forward with anything further,\u201d said Mesheau. \u201cI think it&#8217;s best at this time that we allow the process to complete. And then, at that point in time, have the opportunity to discuss that with the CAO, once that report is provided.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thurston says she was not surprised by the response. \u201cIt was a very politically correct response, which is what I kind of anticipated,\u201d says Thurston. \u201cMy request to council tonight wasn&#8217;t to get an answer tonight, it was simply for them to know that this is my request. And it won&#8217;t be the last time that I speak with them about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One concern she had was Mesheau\u2019s stress that once the process was complete, council would be getting their report via the CAO. \u201cI feel that&#8217;s unacceptable,\u201d says Thurston. \u201cI think that my request to get that report independently [to council] themselves is fair. And I would simply expect an answer as to why they don&#8217;t feel that they can do that,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo me, it makes me feel like we&#8217;re being acknowledged and respected, and that they&#8217;re taking this seriously,\u201d says Thurston. \u201cAnd we have been asked to take it seriously. So I think there&#8217;s just expectations on both sides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thurston says that while her concern is that there is a conflict of interest with the CAO overseeing the assessment, it\u2019s not personally about Jamie Burke. \u201cThis isn&#8217;t a direct reflection on the Chief Administrative Officer, by any means,\u201d says Thurston. \u201cWe\u2019re all in this for a common goal,\u201d she says, \u201cto make the fire department better, to make it the place that we all know that it can be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe work that we do is something that we&#8217;re all very proud of and very passionate about,\u201d says Thurston, who is a five-year veteran of the Sackville Fire Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thurston is hoping the workplace assessment, and the actions that stem from it, will make the fire department a better workplace environment. \u201cI don&#8217;t want the work to stop at the report and recommendations. I expect to see an action plan,\u201d says Thurston. \u201cI want us to be part of the solution, and I would like to town to include us in that collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A local firefighter is asking that a consultants report on the fire department go directly to Sackville\u2019s mayor and council, instead of getting filtered through CAO Jamie Burke\u2019s office.
