## Resource

Alberta’s government is relocating 336 public health inspectors and 76 other workers from the provincial health agency to the health ministry, sparking urgent union negotiations over job security and benefits. With a June 17 deadline looming, AUPE is demanding guarantees that salaries, seniority, and benefits won’t be eroded — fearing workers could be treated as new hires without formal agreements. A proposed letter of understanding outlines maintaining current pay, job locations, and seniority if service continues uninterrupted. While the ministry insists no layoffs will occur and services remain unaffected, Premier Danielle Smith frames the move as streamlining preventative health under one department — but workers and unions remain wary of hidden costs to their hard-earned protections.
