Woman dies after being trampled by horses at Ponoka Stampede

The 55,000 Canada Post workers represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) are on strike, the union says.

The City of Calgary says it's working with an external courier service amid the Canada Post strike.

"The Alberta Government is aware of what LPNs are capable of doing and has been knowingly exploiting LPNs due to our large scope of practice and the relatively low paying status," said Ginny Wong with LPNs for Change. "Because we are not in the "nurse's bargaining unit," LPNs are often forgotten to be included when discussing nurses." She adds that in most other fields, employees are paid based on the work they perform, not their formal education or titles. The group has paused their advocacy for LPNs due to bargaining so all unions and advocates can work together for the benefit of RNs.
