The Alberta Federation of Labour has announced a new campaign named Fight Back Now aimed at uniting workers and community members across Alberta against the current UCP government led by Premier Danielle Smith. The campaign seeks to empower individuals to express their grievances and advocate for workers' rights through organized collective action. This initiative is a response to the perceived negative impact of government policies on workers and labor rights in the province.

As part of the campaign, the federation is inviting interested individuals to participate in the Fight Back Academy, which will provide training in community organizing, political mobilization, and collective bargaining strategies. This educational component is designed to enhance the skills of participants in order to better prepare them for the upcoming challenges they may face in dealing with government policies and labor issues. The federation believes that equipping people with these skills is crucial for fostering grassroots movements and ensuring that workers' voices are heard.

The climax of the Fight Back Now campaign will culminate in a province-wide day of action set to take place on May 29, with protests planned in various cities and towns across Alberta. This significant mobilization aims to galvanize support and raise awareness about labor issues, showcasing the unity and strength of workers standing against government actions perceived as detrimental to their rights. The federation hopes that by engaging community members in this action, it will encourage broader participation and bring about meaningful change in Alberta’s labor landscape.
