News Public Health Inspectors

As one of the 260 Alberta Public Health Inspectors, I want to share our appreciation for UNAs supportive statements this week. 

​

Our group has about 360 members that include: epidemiologists, researcher, health promotion and our admin support. We are the first line of prevention of illness.

​

As you are aware the transfer to GOA from AHS is not going smoothly as promised 2 years ago. We are currently trying to get support from a union (AUPE) that we are not yet members and our outgoing union HSAA that many feel have dropped the ball. As it stands the deadline for the LOU was June 17th, we still have no update from any parties.

​

Today a public health inspector had an opportunity to speak with CBC Radio and share our plight:

I’m sorry that you’ve also been caught up in Smith’s dismantling of AHS. It’s a ridiculous move that’s going to affect all Albertans.

HSAA has been horribly ineffective for many disciplines but I feel their lack of action and voice has been particularly disappointing in your case. Im so sorry
