1963
Voluntary Recognition Sought
In B.C., nurses had been successfully organized into collective bargaining activity since 1946 by the RNABC, and enjoyed superior wages and working conditions. By 1963, Alberta nurses’ salaries had fallen substantially behind B.C. nurses’ wages.
A resolution was passed at the AARN Annual Meeting with respect to the need for nurses to begin organizing within their employment agencies to obtain voluntary recognition from individual hospital boards.
There continued to be complete agreement between the AARN and the AHA that strikes and lockouts would not be used to settle disputes.
