MISSISSAUGAWATCH to CBC, "Mississauga did not take employee duct tape/abuse seriously."

MISSISSAUGAWATCH emails comment to CBC [TRANSCRIPT below]

In 2008 Freedom of Information dredged up an email from Security Area Manager Cathie Evans stating that the only way for Security to confirm what was really going on in a (2005) One-said/Many-said situation was to install a video surveillance camera.

[Cathie Evans 2005/09/27 11:38:15 am]

"By copy of your e-mail to [DELETED] I will request that he proceed immediately to make whatever necessary arrangements to change the view of the [DELETED] camera... We need to be able to see as much-of the [DELETED] areas as possible. Further, I would also support changing the camera outright (if required) so as to obtain optimum surveillance capabilities. I believe that only by gathering video evidence will we be able to put this issue to rest."
Evans and Mississauga Corporate Security did not install the camera back in 2005 but preferred to conduct interviews and to believe the Many against the One.
Now it's happened again with Alex Juani.
Another relevant quote from Canadian Security Magazine (January 2007) on Mississauga Corporate Security at: http://tinyurl.com/29gtztt
"With a history of suspicion around security, there's one issue Hillis really feels strongly about standing his ground on and that is not providing video surveillance footage of employees to human resources unless it is part of a planned investigation.
'If they are stealing time, no we don't; anything to do with time or labour — nothing like that. It has to be done officially as part of an investigation.'"
#1 question. Why wasn't City Security called in to install a video surveillance camera "officially as part of an investigation"?
ANSWER. For the same reason they didn't in 2005. The City did not want to take the chance that The One whistle-blower could have been right. And that The Many were lying!
