National Day For Truth And Reconciliation To Be Recognized By AHS - March 15, 2022 - Micah Quinn

Alberta Health Services workers are now able to take off the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation stat holiday on September 30 and get paid for it. The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees filed a policy grievance after AHS refused to recognize the day. An arbitrator worked on the grievance and now union members in nursing care and general support services will be able to access the stat. AUPE Vice-President and Chair of the union’s Human Rights Committee, Bobby-Joe Borodey, says this is a huge victory.

Borodey points out that establishing a stat holiday to honour residential school survivors and their families was one of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
