Hundreds of Nurses all across Alberta rallied for better wages and to raise awareness about the state of healthcare on Day of Action Saturday this past weekend. The United Nurses of Alberta (UNA) said the rally was an important opportunity for nurses in Alberta to advocate for better working conditions. They also wanted to spread awareness about the current staff shortage and service cuts. Rallies were sparked after UNA members rejected a tentative mediator’s recommendation in October.
