Tell the Premier to Treat Health-Care Professionals with Respect

Health care in Alberta is in crisis. Instead of investing in the people who care for us and tackling the health-care staffing shortage, the government is making the problem worse. 

HSAA members are asking for fair wages that would help retain and recruit the workers needed to provide quality, reliable care, but their employer is proposing to freeze the base wages of more than 20% of HSAA members, offering them only a one-time lump sum, while offering the rest of the membership amounts that fail to keep up with inflation.

This divisive and insulting approach shows a lack of respect for health-care professionals and the work they do. The government is further undermining an already stressed system, making it harder for you to get care where and when you need it. 

Tell the Premier: it’s time to listen to and respect health-care professionals by fairly paying them for their work.
