## Resource

Continuing care workers in Calgary are taking to the streets demanding urgent action from Alberta’s government, arguing that sweeping health-care changes are overwhelming long-term care homes. AUPE, the union representing these workers, is backing current nursing staff negotiations but insists the real crisis is understaffed facilities struggling to handle increasingly complex patient needs. While the province claims this is a local bargaining issue between AUPE and Carewest, workers say they’re witnessing unsafe transfers and inadequate resources — calling for staffing minimums, fair pay, and transparency in how public funds are spent in private care homes.
