Continuing-care members visit MLAs
More than 30 front-line health care workers from long-term care facilities accompanied AUPE President Dan MacLennan to the provincial Legislature April 24, to press for enforceable legislation to ensure adequate staffing levels in Alberta’s continuing-care facilities. The AUPE members, who work in continuing-care facilities throughout Alberta, met opposition health critics and others to express their concerns about understaffing in the long-term care system. They were joined by supporters from the Greater Edmonton Alliance and religious groups. "We’re not asking for raises, we’re looking for more money for long-term care," MacLennan told members of the media who covered the visit.
