If those nurses that got downgraded are qualified to be registered care aids I can't see any issue, this is just my opinion I'm not HR in any workplace. It's no different then when things get slow and people move out of different departments and bump others with less seniority. It happens in not just non union place but also union companies.
Not a direct comparison but my wife works for a unionized company. She's been there a long time and is very high on the seniority list. The company she works for runs a large CSR Department, my wife however has moved around and right now does other things away from the CSR position. If she wants to work overtime (which is typically only offered to CSR's) she can bump most of the regular CSR's and move back into that role whenever OT is offered and she wants to even though that position isn't one she doesn't do anymore. The same thing happened to your friend but on a more permanent basis and not for OT shifts but regular ones.
She can contact Labour Relations or whoever regulates that industry but IMO as long as those people who got bumped down are qualified to do the job it's not going to go anywhere.
