EDMONTON Alberta unions are calling on the province to recognize the danger of COVID-19 in workplaces. According to the Workers Compensation Board, nearly 8,900 Albertans have made COVID-19-related claims between January 2020 and March 2021. On Wednesday, coinciding with the National Day of Mourning in remembrance of workers who have died as a result of on-the-job illness or injury, the Alberta Federation of Labour called on the United Conservative government to prioritize vaccines for essential employees, set up vaccination clinics in workplaces, and bring in paid sick leave. By AFL s estimate, about two-third of working Albertans don t have access to the latter.

Flags flew at half-mast at Lethbridge city hall, and groups across the province commemorated those workers who died on the job in the province in 2020 for the annual National Day of Mourning on Wednesday.
Former city employee, retired CUPE Local 70 chief shop steward, and dedicated workers’ rights advocate Burt Green, as always on the National Day of Mourning, made his way down to the union’s worker memorial in Mountain View Cemetery to mourn and honour those who have died on the job– which sadly in Alberta totalled 150 workers in 2020.
