When we were in government, Labour Day was a time to reflect on the progress we had made together on safer workplaces and ensuring hard-working families could make ends meet, and on our next steps.

✅ Steps like increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour, to make sure a worker didn't have to go to the food bank after her shift to feed her family.
✅ Steps like our affordable child care pilot centres offering almost 1,300 quality, $25 a day child care spaces helping more Alberta women enter or stay in the workforce.
✅ Steps like improving the safety of gas station and convenience store workers with mandatory pre-pay for fuel.
✅ And banning the mandatory use of high heels in restaurants and other workplaces.
Now, with the Kenney government in power, on Labour Day we commit to fighting against all the things the UCP are doing that hurt hard-working Albertans, their wages, and their security.
Premier Kenney is rolling your back wages and overtime pay, playing with your pensions, and attacking the public sector workers that the rest of us rely on to provide the services we count on.

If Mr. Kenney wants to spend four years burning bridges... we will spend four years building them. 🧡

We will fight for an Alberta that works for all Albertans, one that supports working people, one where there’s economic prosperity for everyone not just those at the top.
