Hey, fellow workers.
Some of you may already know this, but my spouse is a PhD student. She does that while also working. What you may not know is that her work for the last 4 years has been short-term contract after short-term contract, sometimes multiple contracts all at once.

Canadian Millennial/GenX friends, it’s time to either get your immunity tested or just get an adult MMR booster. Most of us are in a childhood immunization gap where our immunity can wane, usually in our 30s-ish, so… now, approximately. Protect yourselves.
Because of a measles outbreak in 9 of its provinces and 1 of its territories that has persisted for over a year, Canada no longer holds measles elimination status.

Last week, a reader of The Alberta Worker signed for a $500 monthly subscription.
Yes, you read that right. $500 a month.
This is amazing and will make a huge difference in continuing to provide independent labour journalism in Alberta.

love that Supercop #3 expects us to believe he had reason to believe a sitting MLA was engaged in flagrant corruption, conducted an illegal search — and then got distracted so never completed his investigation. Adorable.
