Nurses rally in Red Deer during province-wide demonstration
Nearly 90 local union members took their health care and bargaining concerns to the constituency office of Red Deer-South MLA Jason Stephan on Thursday.
The noon hour information walk that began at City Hall was one of 33 held across the province in 25 communities.
Members of United Nurses of Alberta described it as a pre-Valentine’s Day message outlying the concerns of more than 30,000 Registered Nurses and Registered Psychiatric Nurses represented by UNA and members of other health care unions.
Union officials say the goal is to show their support for publicly delivered health care and all front-line workers.
