AHS is asking for a 3% pay cut as part of ongoing labour negotiations with the United Nurses of Alberta. In addition to previous rollback asks, that would reduce compensation by 5%.

"It was quite shocking for us," said UNA's David Harrigan. He said unlike other sectors the demand for health care has only increased through the pandemic and that a shortage of nurses was causing bed closures. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed… #abhealth #ableg

On Sunday, AHS said a nursing shortage has forced the Rocky Mountain House Health Centre to close six acute care beds. Hospital beds have also been closed in Galahad, Elk Point, Cold Lake, St. Paul, Leduc due to nursing shortages. reddeeradvocate.com/news/nursing-s… #abhealth #ableg

Finance Minister Travis Toews is cherry-picking the numbers that he thinks will advance his case against Alberta nurses.

Every profession in Alberta is paid higher than comparator provinces — we used to call that the Alberta advantage. #abhealth #ableg

MEDIA RELEASE: “AHS has never suggested to us that vacations are the problem,” said UNA President Heather Smith. “It’s offensive to suggest nurses are responsible for these problems by taking desperately needed vacations." una.ca/1255/staff-sho… #abhealth #ableg

Health Minister Tyler Shandro caused an uproar yesterday when he responded to a question in the Legislature about the closings and diminished access to Emergency Departments by blaming vacations taken by nurses and other front-line health care workers. #ableg #abhealth

Alberta Health Services has indicated clearly that unfilled vacancies for Registered Nurses, Registered Psychiatric Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses are the cause of bed closings and reduced Emergency Room coverage in rural hospitals. #ableg #abhealth
