Court Settlement Minion Ont Dear Sir hfabel Wilson previously unployad with the Childrens Aid Society of slmooo Cetme recently received an autoi oourt settlement following an action in whidi sh rucd the uciatyJor wronaful dirniinal and mutated damage The dismissal came aha mull of tho recommendation of the managing director Donald Jackson in June 1m and negotiaqu have been going on since that time Mrs Wilson had been employed with the Cblldrena Aid Society for 11 years starting secretary and working her way up to tho position of supervisor of gro tectlon services in 1959 ha action of the director and the support given him by the Board of Director earn as meek and surprise as no reason was given for this type of action It wna revealed that another person had been interviewed and hired for the position long before any indication was giv en that Mrs Wilson waldo be relieved of her duties Now that the case has been settled the following is given to the press as an open letter to the public OPEN LETTER As many of you know at the time of my dismissal from the Childrens Aid Society in June 1960 made public statement by radio and TV and through the press explaining that the action was unjustified and that no reason had been given to me for the treatment was receiving To the host of my knowledge had worked hard to maintain good chur actor and reputation through nnd had been dedicated worker in the welfare field during my 13 years of service had committed no set to war rant auch injustice However none of this appeared to mat ter and the quiet but deter mined ellmlnallan 3f me as an employee was carried out My refusal to accept questionable treatment and refusal to re sign upon the request of Direc tor Don Jackson was misin terpreted as negative action against nuthority But was convinced had done mv on to the best of my abllity and could not obey suchnn or derand quietly retire from socialwork when it was my main interest and vocation have always acted in the in terests oi the children and the people of Simeon County The issues involved in what happened to me nffcct every social worker in way and de gree which may not be fully realized They are completely director and few members of board of directors who know very little about them in the first place and do not appear to be very concerned Many times it has been stated not interested in the welfare of the employees and this is general feeling that has grown over the past few years Also by placing the authority to hire and fire on the shoulders of one man and following through on hisrsuggestions with proper investigation no socialworker an any security at all if they have in his opinion outlived their usefulness It makes my goal in welfare work appear 15 no recogni E2 tioflcfi

have not since been informed regarding proceed of directors wanted it this way and because mg Wouldtryton ce fairly as public body held my peace Even when enter ed suit for wrongful dismissal and unstated damages still prayed that they would reahu the implications of what they wera doing But as the case proceeded it was apparent they could not save face and onnose any suggestion of the manag

for the public know ledge wish to state that believe there was definitely discrimination against me and an the Alliston staff The di rector Donald Jackson tried to dismiss the other two work era there but failed for the present They were successful in obtaining hearing before the personnel committee This same committee was inactive at the time of my dismissal as the time was conveniently chosen in the summer months when the chairman Mr Harold llalbert was in Florida At that time talked with some board members who sympathiz ed with me in private and ap psrently voted against me at the board meeting It is well knoum ac nt eclnr wished to centralize he Chil drens Aid Society and close the branch offices There was strong branch committee in Alllstonlighting the closing of their office and
