Hospital staff walk out in wildcat strike

Wildcat Strike

Members of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees at the Drumheller Health Centre participated in a wildcat strike on Monday afternoon, October 26. This was a province-wide action with strikes in many centres. It was in response to reports the Alberta government is planning on cutting 11,000 positions, including laundry, food services, and laboratory services. Workers returned to work on Tuesday following an order by the Alberta Labour Relations Board (ALRB) to cease and desist their wildcat strike.
