CUTS MUST STOP
Everyone knows you should not kick a man when he is down. Yet the UCP government continues to cut extensively to workers in this province. They plan to cut 11,000 front line workers that is laundry, food services, housekeeping in the health services sector. Also five hundred nurse’s jobs are on the chopping block. They are quickly making plans to open the door to more privatization in both education and health care. However, they are reducing corporate taxes. It makes one wonder who Jason Kenney is working for …certainly not the ordinary Albertan.
These cuts are ideological and draconian. It is known that cuts to public services do not end economic recessions in fact they make them worse and longer.
There is a theme to these cuts the low wage earners, ASISH, people making a minimum wage.
Wanting affordable health care, education and a living wage is not a call for socialism but a plea for survival..
If you are interested in who is helping the UCP and supporting their mandate look up on the AFL web site under UCP donors
