Tuesday, October 27th, 12PM, Chinook Regional Hospital-10th Ave
ULFA’s virtual ‘Water Cooler’ event this Tuesday at Noon will broadcast from outside of Lethbridge Regional Hospital in support of healthcare workers who walked off the job yesterday. The wildcat action came in response to news that 11 000 housekeeping, food service, laboratory and laundry jobs will be laid-off, their positions privatized by Alberta Health Services. ULFA stands in solidarity with these workers who provide such critical services, and were called heroes in the early days of the pandemic.
While the AB Labour Board has ordered these workers back to the job, ULFA Members are encouraged to show support and attend an informal rally, masked and physically distanced, outside of their scheduled duties. ULFA will have our flags and toques available for 12 PM Noon (Tuesday) at Chinook Regional Hospital on 10th Ave S. For those unable to physically join the picket line we will live broadcast through the Zoom room of the ULFA ‘Water Cooler’ event previously scheduled.
