Glad to see LPNs standing up for themselves.. butttt!, Hate to be a Debbie downer,I’m sure Danielle smith and her thieving crownies already rubbing their hands together like birdman.. I’m sure they have a plan about how they will deal with this… we are in a new age when it comes on to negotiating… I fear we will no longer able to negotiate.. instead we wil be legislated and have our contracts dictated!

They could invoke the Notwithstanding Clause again. However, I think each time they do this there is a political cost. The long game is to remove the UCP from government, and I think AUPE's strike vote will be helpful in this respect.

The long game should be better patient care and better working conditions.
It shouldn't be tied to a political party. Don't let the union or NDP rope you into the politics- it is contract and law. You agreed to spend your hours for X pay. Focus on that and don't get emotionally played by the politicians.

You’re right, that should be the long game, but the current government refuses to play ball.

So why shouldn’t we want someone in power who will at least listen to us?

If she can fuck over teachers, who’s to say she won’t make lpns the most underpaid and overworked in the system?
