Health Sciences Association of Alberta presents call to action in support of health-care workers
The union that represents 28,000 health-care professionals in Alberta is requesting help from the provincial government to support the struggling industry.
The union adds that there are 1,000 vacancies in health-care positions across Alberta as the number of available workers continue to drop.
During a news conference, HSAA president Mike Parker asked the provincial government for three things to protect health-care workers moving forward.
First, to protect the physical health of health-care professionals by providing N95 masks to all workers on the front lines.
