What does it mean to be a nurse in Alberta?
Alberta’s nurses share their experiences on the frontlines and how Jason Kenney’s cut will hurt them, their patients and our public health care system.
Cuts Cost Lives
Even before the pandemic, Alberta’s nurses were stretched thin. Yet Premier Kenney and Minister Shandro are still planning to move ahead with cutting thousands of health care workers, including at least 750 nurses, and privatizing huge parts of our public health care system.
How will this impact patients? It’s simple. By cutting health care jobs, Jason Kenney and Minister Shandro are risking Albertan’s lives.
Betrayal
Betrayal. After more than a year of laying it all on the line, that’s what nurses in Alberta are feeling right now.
This pandemic isn’t over. We are still on the front lines of the battle against COVID. We are still working long hours. Sweat, tears, sleep, family time – we are giving it our all. After all this sacrifice, how does it feel to be rewarded with job cuts and wage roll backs?
Heroes to zeroes
We are proud to be nurses. And we know our fellow Albertans have our backs. We are grateful for the support.
But Premier Kenney and Minister Shandro see nurses as dispensable. How does that feel for nurses after this unprecedented year? And what does that mean for the health and well-being of Albertans?
Stand with Alberta’s nurses. Take action now.
Tell Premier Kenney and Minister Shandro to stop the cuts to our public heath care system.
