EDMONTON — Alberta’s 9,000 unionized provincial employees are going back to the office full time starting this weekend, but not without a brown bag protest. Bobby-Joe Borodey, vice-president of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, says workers are planning to place the bags on their desk with a note stating: "Hybrid work tastes better." Borodey says the bag symbolizes pushback on the provincial government ending its hybrid work policy in what she calls a decision tied to revitalizing businesses near government offices. She says it also symbolizes other union concerns with the end of the work-from-home program, including bad faith negotiating, lack of office space and impacts to mental health. Alberta's United Conservative Party government announced the cancellation of its hybrid work policy in October and ordered workers back to the office full time starting Sunday.
