Open Letter:

Working Albertans are falling farther and farther behind

Dear Premier Smith, 

Alberta workers are the lifeblood of our economy, yet the growing gap between wages and the cost of living is placing immense strain on families and hindering everyone’s prosperity. We are calling for a better future for workers. Inflation has surged by 27% over the past decade, but wages have not kept up.

We demand the following: 

  • Living wages for everyone: Every worker deserves a living wage that ensures not only survival but also the ability to thrive. 

  • Bargaining gains, not losses: We will not accept rollbacks or wage increases that don’t keep up with the cost of living. If a wage is not good enough for us now, it’s not good enough for future workers.

  • Bridging the wage gap: We stand united in closing the wage gap that disproportionately affects marginalized communities. We are committed to addressing  issues that create income inequality.

We, commit to the following:

  1. Standing Firm: We will not bend for a bad deal. We want fair compensation and will reject attempts to undermine our standards.

  2. Solidarity: We will stand with our colleagues, supporting each other to secure the best possible outcomes for all.

  3. Relentless Advocacy: We will continually advocate across all available mediums, ensuring our voices are heard and our demands are met.

We are committed to the best outcomes for all Alberta workers. We urge you, Premier Smith, to join us and take action now.

Sincerely,
145 Concerned Albertans
