Employers in Alberta treat their workers fairly, so we don’t see a lot of labour unrest. In fact, Alberta has one of the lowest rates of unionization with less than 20% of our workforce (about 400,000 workers) covered by union agreements. Union members have the right to bargain collectively with their employers in areas such as wages, hours of work, working conditions and grievance procedures. The majority of collective agreements in Alberta are settled without job action. The Government of Alberta offers mediation services to assist parties in resolving collective bargaining negotiations (www.employment.alberta.ca). Alberta Labour Relations Board (www.alrb.gov.ab.ca) is an independent and impartial tribunal responsible for the day-to-day application and interpretation of Alberta's labour laws. The Board interprets and applies the legislation governing collective bargaining. If parties cannot resolve their differences through mediation, the Labour Relations Code describes the processes for strikes and lockouts, and various options for arbitration.
