'If everybody is being burntout from bedside nursing and needing to go elsewhere then who is going to look after those patients? And if it's constantly a revolving door then we're really not fixing any of the problems that we have.'

'The minister knows it's an issue. The question is what is her government going to do, if anything, to turn it around? Turning it around includes infrastructure and making this province a magnet for health-care workers.'

Important update from United Nurses of Alberta's Negotiations Committee:
una.ca/1523/una-provi… #abnurses

It’s 2024 and health care is still in crisis. We need #Budget2024 to deliver funding for nurse retention initiatives. Our health care system hinges on the well-being of our nurses + HCWs, who are still doing too much with too little. See what can be done: staffupsavelives.ca

Congratulations to our neighbours in the SUNnurses on celebrating 50 years as the voice for nurses in Saskatchewan. Canada's nurses know we are stronger when we stand together.

Happy Anniversary, SUN! ☀️

#Solidarity #UnionStrong

The state of Canada’s health care system is driving away nurses in all stages of their careers. Even nurses who are just starting out. Tell the federal government we need to take care of our nurses at staffupsavelives.ca

“The provincial government has stated that the plan for Recovery Alberta has been done in collaboration with AHS and front-line workers, yet no consultation or information was shared with UNA and no bargaining occurred with UNA regarding the transition.'

Happy 50th anniversary to SUNnurses! Thankful for the chance to celebrate with you! #50YearsStrong

Alberta's nurses are already overworked and feeling unappreciated, and if they hear that the government's just going to run roughshod over their collective agreement rights, it's going to make it hard to retain and very difficult to recruit. #ableg

Today, on Edith Monture's birthday, we join BC in honouring Indigenous Nurses Day and the crucial contributions of First Nations, Métis and Inuit nurses in advancing health care. We stand with Indigenous nurses today and every day. #cdnhealth #NurseTwitter

'...this specific transition is not well planned, and that casts doubt to me across the whole system. Health-care systems are incredibly complex. And the idea that we can just cut and slice and move people around and it's effortless is misguided at best.'

Major health-care unions are raising the alarm about Alberta's planned transition to a new mental health and addictions agency, which will affect thousands of health-care staff.
The pushback includes an unfair labour practice complaint.
