Contemporary Challenges to Caring Labour and Time-Honoured Transformative Tools: Workplace Bullying and Theatre of the Oppressed
Bibliographic record
Abstract
One manifestation of the ‘new managerialism’ in the Canadian health care system is the increase in workplace bullying. An occupational group especially susceptible to workplace bullying is Continuing Care Assistants (CCAs) who provide personal care to long-term care home residents and individuals in their own homes in Saskatchewan. These foot soldiers of end-of-life care have no professional society or regulatory agency to advocate for their occupational status and the social value of the work they perform. The paper argues that workplace bullying cannot be understood unless it is related to the social structure from which it derives. One underlying cause of bullying among CCAs is the reorganization of their work under current health care reforms. Potential solutions to workplace bullying must start with transformative processes rooted in an understanding of these larger contextual forces.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
