PrintUNA members sharpen their skills at the annual Jasper Labour School
More than 50 members of United Nurses of Alberta travelled to the mountain park community of Jasper in January to sharpen their skills at the Jasper Labour School.
The annual educational event organized by the Alberta Federation of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress was held January 13 to 18, 2019.
Members attending in the annual school were immersed in a wide-range of course topics, including occupational health and safety, labour history and law, collective bargaining, mental health, facing management, a path to reconciliation, and communications for union activists.
Students at the school also heard from a range of guest speakers, including Alberta Deputy Premier Sarah Hoffman, Labour Minister Christina Gray and AFL President Gil McGowan.
UNA Labour Relations Officer Marie Dancsok and Communications Advisor Dave Cournoyer shared their professional expertise with students while acting as facilitators at the school.
