...in Fort McMurray, unions remain at the forefront of advocating for safer workplaces. Through negotiating improved safety standards in collective agreements and providing essential safety training to our members, we stand as the first line of defence against workplace hazards.

FOM: “Health care workers deserve to be safe when they show up to care for us. We need a violence-prevention plan in place that includes addressing rampant short-staffing throughout our health care system. Violence is not part of the job”

“The work of nursing must be done with renewed attention to the safety of health care workers, their patients, their families and friends, and everyone who uses medical facilities in Alberta.' - UNA President Heather Smith.
