UNA workers in Bow Island to participate in Thursday rallies
BOW ISLAND, AB — Members of the United Nurses Association in Bow Island will also be participating in information rallies and walks this week.
The UNA revealed Tuesday that members of Local 409, which represents the Bow Island Health Centre, will be participating in the event from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. on Main Street in the town.
According to a post on the UNA website, members are being told to attend the events during non-work time, coffee breaks and lunch breaks.
Multiple locals across Alberta will be participating in the events. The purpose of the events, the UNA says, is to raise concerns about the provincial government’s decision to lay off nurses and the impact it will have on care.
