Our members in Local 49 continue to experience less than optimal working conditions due to the chronic underfunding for Long Term Care in Alberta.
Both the Auditor General's Report and the government appointed MLA Task Force on Long Term Care, made recommendations speaking to levels of care and staffing quotas, among others. As of yet we have not seen these recommendations acted upon by our elected officials in the Legislature. Local 49 of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees continues in it's struggle to improve the working conditions for it's members and more importantly the living conditions of the most frail and unheard in our society, our residents.
