According to Alberta labour legislation employers have the right to force their employees into working overtime. Numerous studies have proven the importance of having a healthy work-life balance and employees shouldn't be penalized for refusing to work more than 40 hours per week or 8 hours per day.
Other atrocities that should be dealt with include greater rights for contractors and temporary placement employees. It should be made illegal to fire a temporary placement worker just because management feels that they "don't fit in" with the company.
Alberta should strive to remain progressive and modern in today's society and offer these important rights to the common worker.
We, the undersigned, call upon the Government of Alberta to limit the rights of employers to force overtime onto their workers, giving employees the right to refuse overtime work, and to increase protections for contract and temporary placement workers.
