A quote at the end of the article:

Quote:
Union official Rex Phillips said the behaviour modification techniques could be 'considered harsh' but they were used by all staff in the unit.


As if this justifies the behaviour? "Everyone else was doing it" isn't a defense.

Actually I'm not surprised the union is supporting the woman, I would have been surprised if they hadn't.
