Hospital workers in Alberta are being told to return to work after a tentative agreement was reached.

The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees gave strike notice to Alberta Health Services on Wednesday after bargaining fell apart over wages.

Picket lines were expected at health centres and hospitals this weekend as part of the job action involving 16-thousand workers, including licensed practical nurses and health-care aides.

However, the union told members to stand down in an announcement this morning.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 22, 2025.
