Health Authority claims Amy Blanding's public stance on Gaza violated her employment contract
The Northern Health Authority has responded to former employee Amy Blanding, who filed a civil claim after her reassignment and eventual resignation from the organization.
Her duties included promoting diversity and inclusion across NHA, specifically working on anti-racism, cultural safety, and accessibility. “Although the performance and social media posts were made in the plaintiff’s personal time, given the unique office that the plaintiff held as IDEA director and as a senior leader within the organization, NHA had concerns that members of the public would attribute these positions to NHA,” the response states.
Specifically, the response notes that the person in the role would be responsible for “not engaging in activities, even on her personal time, that she knew or ought to have known may be offensive to individuals, both members of the public and NHA staff, who access services with NHA.”
