Radio station’s Web poll
June 30, 2007 - 11:17pm MST
Radio station CHED is running a poll that asks: “Should health care workers have the right to strike?”

The poll is found on the front page of CHED’s Website — 630ched.com.

By voting yes, AUPE members support full bargaining rights for all public employees, a key position in the union’s current Change-the-Law Campaign.

The Change-the-Law campaign calls for five key changes to Alberta’s regressive and unfair labour laws. One of those changes is full collective bargaining rights for all public employees, including the legal right to strike combined with fair essential services legislation.


Poll Outcome:

Should health care workers have the right to strike?
58.71% - Yes
41.28% - No
