Where are the Unions?

Alberta raised the minimum wage.

But does the province with the most offer the most? Not by a long shot. The changes for most workers brings Alberta from 12th of 13 to 10th.

Worse, there are two distinct classes of workers in Alberta. Persons who serve alcohol - waitresses and waiters in licensed establishments - get 35 cents per hour less.

If one's career is in the only occupation where an employee is legally and financially responsible for a customer's own stupidity, then one earns less.

Where's the logic in that?
