Pamela Allan recorded her interview with Yvonne Chapman on May 31, 1994. Ms Chapman came to Alberta in 1970 to be Employee Relations Officer with the AARN. The position was that of "basically a bargainer" in wage and working conditions negotiations with Alberta hospitals, and of working for recognition of nurses as professionals. Ms Chapman describes the growth of unionism in the profession, the decision of the AARN to cease being a bargaining agent for the union; the separation of the Association and the United Nurses of Alberta in 1977; strikes in Alberta and Saskatchewan; legislative changes; and her views on the future of professional unions in Alberta. A timed summary of the audiotape is included in the textual material.
