UNA has been advocating for a weapons detection system like this since the union reviewed a similar system at the Windsor Regional Hospital in Ontario. The new weapons detection system aimed at reducing violence in hospital ERs is set will be trialled at Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton.

β€œMore capacity – more staff, more beds, more hospitals and care centres – is what is required to ensure Albertans get the best and safest patient care possible,” said UNA President Heather Smith. β€œIsn’t that the same thing that the teachers are saying?”

This is an attack on teachers, and on all unions in Alberta and across Canada. CFNU stands in solidarity with the Alberta Teachers’ Association as they face back to work legislation halting their strike action in the fight for fairness and respect. Read more: nursesunions.ca/canadas-nurs... (2/2)

Early this morning, the Alberta government fast-tracked legislation imposing a collective agreement on striking teachers and invoked the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to shield the law from court challenges for the duration of the 4-year deal. (1/2) #canlab

Safe nurse-patient ratios mean better care for everyone. Research shows they reduce errors, improve outcomes, and support healthier nurses. It's time to implement this vital tool across the country. #cdnhealth #canlab

Alberta’s nurses do. We’re very concerned about how separation from Canada could damage the public health care and public services that Albertans rely on everyday.

Violence against health care workers is a crisis that can’t go on unchecked Violence has become a constant threat for nurses and health care professionals while they’re at work. It’s unacceptable and would not be tolerated in other workplaces.

We can’t let the status quo stand. Violence is not and should never be accepted as a part of the job.
