Alberta hospital workers walk out to protest job cuts amid COVID-19, AHS calls strike 'illegal'

Members of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE) walked off the job Monday morning to protest the government's plan to contract out about 11,000 laundry and lab positions, a move AUPE calls dangerous to Alberta’s health care system. More than 100 nursing-care and support workers are participating in the wildcat strike at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton. The union says workers at other hospitals across the province are also walking out.  CTV News has also confirmed
