Are you under a union contract, too? Is there anyone you can go to and say "Based on previous stories that contained severe confidentiality breaches, I'm not comfortable that Diva is being given a position that gives her the potential to access my personal data."

Any updates?  (inquiring minds want to know )

Oh, if only.  Library staff fall under the umbrella of "city jobs" and as such, we are divided into different unions.  Librarians belong to Group A for "supervisors."  Support staff belong to Union B. There is a third Union designation as well, but I don't know who belongs to that.  Finally, "Department Heads" (which includes, the police chief, fire chief, Library director, etc) are their own group.  My union can't do anything about staff from union B.

And, even if we COULD, the Library Director knows the whole story about Diva.  She has heard the story from me.  She has heard similar stories from the person with whom Diva worked after leaving my branch to work in another.  She has heard about Diva from other staff members.  She KNOWS what kind of a hairpin Diva is.  However, we found out recently that Diva and the Director have worked together in the past.  They both belong to Ethnicity One.  Those who have been tell Director about the problems Diva causes belong to Ethnicity Two. 

In other words, up the creek without a paddle.  However, I think it will only be a short time before Diva starts trouble with one of the other ladies in that department.  They are a group of volatile personalities and I can guarantee that sometime in the future things are going to blow like Mount Vesuvius.  If it happens, I will let you know!!!
