Worker Agenda - May 29th Day of Protest

In this episode of Worker Agenda, AFL President Gil McGowan and Secretary Treasurer Cori Longo break down the growing momentum behind Alberta’s May 29 Province-Wide Day of Protest, as workers and community members prepare to push back against what they call the Smith government’s increasingly radical and undemocratic agenda. From concerns over government-led referendum questions and rising separatist rhetoric to the everyday pressures of affordability, health care, education, and workers’ rights, this conversation dives into why organizers say Albertans are reaching a breaking point. McGowan and Longo explain why unions, frontline workers, and community advocates across the province are mobilizing, what’s at stake for democracy in Alberta, and why they believe May 29 is only the beginning of a broader movement demanding accountability, affordability, and leadership focused on the real needs of working families.
