colleague

Some of Ian Hughes’s earliest memories are of playing in the dust and digging holes while his mom and her colleagues searched for fossils in South Australia.

He said it sometimes felt like he was working in "North Korea or East Germany", unable to "have an open conversation" with colleagues.

She added she would also miss her colleagues, saying they were "like family to me".

IHG, the owner of the Holiday Inn brand, declined to comment when approached about riot compensation but has previously said its priority was "the safety and security of our guests and colleagues".

For the work, Geralda Armstrong and colleagues traveled throughout British Columbia sampling hazelnuts from forests that surround the archeological remains of Indigenous village complexes.
