Action to bolster Alberta gas station worker safety this fall: labour minister
EDMONTON — Alberta’s labour minister says the province will take action this fall to protect service-station workers following the death of an employee in an apparent gas and dash.
The government has not yet decided if it will introduce a law to require motorists to pre-pay for gasoline or bring in some other measure, Labour Minister Christina Gray said Wednesday.
“It could be legislation; it could be regulation,” Gray said in an interview.
“There are a few different things: mandatory pre-pay … actual pay at the pump … violence prevention programs. The decision of exactly what will be introduced and in what form has not yet been made.”
