Mike Davidson of the Canadian Union of Public Employees tells CHSJ News there's no legitimate reason why they should have been given their walking papers. He says the government wanted to send a message to others to keep quiet.
Davidson goes on to say the matter of the layoffs is now in the Premier's office while conditions at the jail, itself, have not gotten any better.
Complaints about what's happening at the jail came to light after an inmate from Fredericton was badly beaten up a few weeks ago by a fellow prisoner.
