Amendments to the Fair Registration Practices Act would prohibit regulatory bodies from requiring Canadian work experience for registration (unless required for safety).
The goal is to address labour shortages in health care and trades.

“Last June, the Harper Government promised to limit the number of TFWs that low-wage employers could use. But now, they’ve quietly broken their promise and changed the rules.”👇

To be fair, the context is different. Unions & Employers in the health care sector must conclude Essential Services Agreements before any strike or lockout can occur. So there will still be LPNs & HCAs working, just not as many as usual. #ablabour
🚨 Alberta’s healthcare is on the brink.
The UCP calls it ‘re-focusing.’ We call it chaos.
Respect workers. Listen to patients. Protect public healthcare. Before it’s too late.

1/12 🇨🇦 UCP UNLEASH LABOUR'S KRAKEN 🇨🇦
In response to Alberta's use of the #NotwithstandingClause on #teachers, #labour groups are vowing retaliation.
Stephen Magusiak reports the UCP's attack on bargaining rights has a union coalition raising the spectre of a #GeneralStrike.
#AbLeg #AbLabour
while the language was reverted, @bctf.bsky.social still has the government trying to change it.
And #bced system still hasn't recovered from that damage.
#bced #bclabour #abed #abpoli #bcpoli #ABLabour
BC's Government also has a history of unconstitutionally stripping contracts and forcing [teachers] back to work.
It took the BCTF, with the financial aid of other teachers and labour unions, over a decade to have it go to the supreme court
#bced #bclabour #abed #abpoli #bcpoli #ABLabour
The UCP is using the notwithstanding clause to dodge the Charter of Rights for five years because they know their law won’t hold up.
In Question Period, the Minister admitted what scares him most: labour unrest.
Well, Minister... you’ve got it.
#ABLeg #ABPoli #ABLabour #ABEducation
Even my Grade 6 students understood that the Charter of Rights is the foundation of our democracy. The UCP clearly doesn’t.They’ve used the Notwithstanding Clause once. Who’s next on their list?
#ABLeg #ABPoli #ABLabour #ABEducation
This UCP government has shown us who they really are. Any one of us could be next.
#ABLabour #ABLeg #ABPoli
Exactly. #UCP / Smith / MAGA won't stop with teachers.
All rights are at risk. Think of it. All Albertans' rights are at risk. Regardless of issue or sector.
#ableg #abpoli #cndpoli #abhealth #ablabour
The UCP chose to trample our rights.
We chose to stand up — for students, for families, for teachers, for workers, for all of us. It didn’t have to be this way.
#ABLeg #ABPoli #ABEducation #ABLabour
Danielle Smith would rather silence teachers than listen.
We’re standing with teachers, students, and democracy — and we’ll fight any back-to-work bill they bring.

Congratulations to Sandra Azocar & the entire newly elected @aupe.org Executive Committee! 👏
Thank you to every member who put their name forward to lead western Canada’s largest union.
We look forward to working together on what matters most to AB workers. 💪

As a teacher for 20+ yrs, a mom & gramma, I know kids need strong public schools and the difference a teacher makes.
Instead of respect, this govt chose chaos, cuts & cruelty. Teachers rejected the deal.
ABs kids & teachers deserve better. I stand with you. ✊

Had a lovely time at the UBC 2025 National Apprenticeship Competition in Edmonton today! So much talent, energy, and creativity on display — the future looks bright.

🍎 Alberta’s teachers deserve a fair deal and real respect.
Our kids can’t keep learning in overcrowded classrooms with the lowest funding in Canada. Time to invest in students and support teachers. ✊

💔 185 Albertans killed by workplace violence since 2021.
UCP puts employers first — workers pay the price. We stand with CUPE for real protections. Workers like Deborah deserved better. ✊
#ableg #ABlabour #ABPoli
Alberta’s teachers deserve respect & our kids deserve so much better. Instead, this government delivers crowded classrooms, chronic underfunding, and little support
It’s time to fight for the world-class public education system our students & families deserve.

Great convo with @naheednenshi.bsky.social & @buildingtradesab.bsky.social on the future of Alberta’s skilled trades.
⚒️ End double-breasting
⚒️ Support apprenticeships
⚒️ Invest in retention
Alberta workers deserve nothing less.

1/12 🇨🇦 UNIONS PUT ALBERTA UCP ON NOTICE: "IF YOU TAKE ON ONE OF US, YOU'RE TAKING ON ALL OF US!" 🇨🇦
35 Alberta unions representing 300,000+ workers deliver historic ultimatum to Smith government. The Solidarity Pact has no expiry date.
This isn't an idle threat—it's a promise.
#ABLabour ##ABpoli
✊ Alberta’s workers keep this province running — but the UCP is pushing them to the breaking point.
It’s time to respect frontline workers with fair wages, safe conditions & real negotiations.
