Local 37 is holding a draw to attend the "Beyond Acute Care" conference in Edmonton on Feb. 24 & 25.
All entries must be sent to Lisa Hein at lhein@una.ab.ca Deadline to enter draw is midnight Jan. 27.
On February 24 and 25 in Edmonton, concerned Albertans will have the opportunity to hear renowned consumer advocate and former U.S. presidential candidate Ralph Nader, Council of Canadians National Chair Maude Barlow and many other Canadian, American and European experts on the politics and policy of health care for seniors, the disabled and other vulnerable citizens.
They can hear them all – and participate in building a better future for all Albertans – by taking part in the Beyond Acute Care Conference at the Crowne Plaza Chateau Lacombe Conference Centre, 10111 Bellamy Hill, in Edmonton, Alberta, on Friday, February 24, and Saturday, February 25, 2012.
There is a modest $75 fee for the conference, with a lunch included on Saturday. The fee is $50 for seniors and low-income participants. Albertans who wish to hear Ralph Nader, who has devoted his living to giving ordinary people the tools they need to defend themselves against corporate negligence and government indifference, but cannot attend the full conference, can hear his keynote speech on Friday night for $25.

Sick Leave Policy Grievance (#050167): Arbitrator Andrew Sims has given the award to UNA on this policy. The Non Work related Injury forms are to no longer be used as they violate an Employee's right to privacy & the Collective Agreement. Anyone having concerns please contact a Local 37 Executive Officer.
Seniority and Special Leave:
The Union still gets a number of questions from both Employees and front-line Managers about the new Seniority and Special Leave provisions (Articles 12 & 22). Detailed analyses of both Articles were issued as Memos last year (2004) by David Harrigan, UNA's Director of Labour Relations; to deal with these questions, copies of both Memos (in pdf format) have been posted on our web site. To see them, click on the "Education" tab at left and follow the links.
