“More capacity – more staff, more beds, more hospitals and care centres – is what is required to ensure Albertans get the best and safest patient care possible,” said UNA President Heather Smith. “Isn’t that the same thing that the teachers are saying?”

Violence has become a constant threat for nurses and health care professionals while they’re at work. It’s unacceptable and would not be tolerated in other workplaces.
We can’t let the status quo stand. Violence is not and should never be accepted as a part of the job.
