Quote from Steve on November 20, 2020, 4:09 pmEDMONTON – The leaders of unions representing more than 175,000 working Albertans have unanimously passed a detailed resolution calling for urgent action from the provincial government to address the uncontrolled and terrifying explosion of COVID-19 infections in the province.
The resolution calls on the Kenney government to immediately implement 20 measures to stop the spread of COVID-19 including the following: a “circuit-breaker lockdown” as recommended by hundreds of doctors and health policy experts; a province-wide mask mandate for all indoor spaces, including workplaces; mandatory paid sick leave, so all workers can stay home when they’re sick or required to isolate; and increased funding for schools to support smaller class sizes.
