RNs at Extendicare Cedars Villa in Calgary vote to join UNA

United Nurses of Alberta welcomes the 37 Registered Nurses employed at Extendicare’s Cedars Villa long-term care facility in Calgary.

RNs employed at the facility in southwest Calgary voted overwhelmingly on Monday, May 9, to become the latest members represented by UNA.

As soon as possible, UNA will negotiate a first collective agreement for the Cedars Villa nurses, who before the vote worked without representation by a union.

UNA already represents RNs at eight other Extendicare facilities in Fort Macleod, Vulcan, Red Deer, Leduc, Edmonton, Viking and Mayerthorpe.

In all, UNA represents more than 30,000 Registered Nurses, Registered Psychiatric Nurses and allied health care workers throughout the province.
