The union that represents more than 30,000 nurses in Alberta has signed a four-year contract with the province after months of bargaining and mediation.
The United Nurses of Alberta said Thursday the new deal will see the nurses it represents receive pay increases of about 20 per cent by 2028.
The union said the agreement also includes job security protection, as Alberta overhauls its health-care system, as well as assurances for staffing levels.
It said the agreement signifies the value of nurses and brings a “difficult” round of bargaining to an end.
Heather Smith, president of the United Nurses of Alberta, said the agreement shows nurses respect for the work they do.
