Alberta Nursing Workers Ratify Four-Year Collective Agreement

More than 16,000 nursing-care members in Alberta ratified a tentative collective agreement late Nov. 22, 2025, avoiding a planned strike and making the deal retroactive to April 1, 2024. The four-year contract, expiring March 31, 2028, includes nearly 24% raises for licensed practical nurses, about 17% for health-care aides, increased shift premiums, and funding for rural recruitment.
