Smith said that even under Rachel Notley's NDP government, the labour laws did not go far enough for workers. "AHS is responding quickly to illegal strike action by [AUPE] staff at various sites across the province," the statement said.

In a press appearance, Labour and Immigration Minister Jason Copping said the legislation is in response to complaints from union members, and denied that the UCP is attempting to suppress political criticism from unions.
