This thesis will examine the logic of the underlying relationship that persists between the two parties despite the difficult political and economic environment in Alberta. This thesis will discuss the complex and changing relationship between labour and the NDP in Alberta, making use of data from a variety of sources, but will rely heavily on data gathered from a series of interviews conducted with union and party officials in 2008. The thesis will deal particularly with the increasing fragmentation of the union movement in Alberta and the increasing independence of labour union campaigns during elections as challenges for the Alberta NDP in the future. iii Table of Contents Introduction Page 1 Chapter 2: Theoretical Context for Union and Party relations Page 7 Chapter 3: The Historical Interaction of Labour and Political Parties in Alberta 1901-1971 Page 42 Chapter 4: The Modern Context for Union Party Relations 1971- 2008 Page 75 Chapter 5: The Union-Party Relationship

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 1, 2018 JANIS IRWIN LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN FOR EDMONTON-HIGHLANDS-NORWOOD NDP NOMINATION Says strengthening public education and speaking up for local community needs are her priorities in seeking the Alberta New Democratic Party nomination Edmonton - This evening at the Bellevue Community Hall, well-known community advocate Janis Irwin announced to a packed room full of supporters her intentions to seek the Alberta NDP nomination in Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood. “From Ray Martin to Pam Barrett to Brian Mason, the NDP has a long history of strong representatives in the Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood area”, said nomination contestant Janis Irwin. “They have modelled what it means to be an effective elected official, one that’s principled, passionate, and hard-working. I believe that I can build on their good work.” As a proven leader in the educational community, with experience as a teacher, vice principal, university lecturer, civil servant, and with a masters degree in educational leadership, Irwin reaffirmed her commitment to working towards stronger and more inclusive public education if elected. “My background in education reminds me of the young people of this province and how important it is that we re-elect a government that will continue to invest in education and ensure that students are safe and supported”, said Irwin. As a committed local volunteer and long-time resident of Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood, Irwin is running to ensuring the priorities of the neighbourhoods that make up the constituency are heard and that their needs are met. “I got involved in politics because I believe that each member of our community deserves basic rights.
