VALKYRIE OF THE AIR  WWII


"The squadron was the brainchild of Marina Raskova, known as the “Soviet Amelia Earhart”—famous not only as the first female navigator in the Soviet Air Force but also for her many long-distance flight records. She had been receiving letters from women all across the Soviet Union wanting to join the World War II war effort. While they had been allowed to participate in support roles, there were many who wanted to be gunners and pilots, flying on their own. Many had lost brothers or sweethearts, or had seen their homes and villages ravaged. Seeing an opportunity, Raskova petitioned Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin to let her form an all-female fighting squadron."

Opposition Leader Rachel Notley roasted the government over the impact Bill 2 will have on overtime. Specifically, allowing overtime hours to be banked at straight time, rather than time-and-a-half.

Notley called on the UCP to “go back to the drawing board” and better inform themselves on what she labelled an “aggressive grab at overtime” for 400,000 workers in the province, many of whom are in the oil and gas and construction sectors.

If the UCP is going to pass the bill, she said, it needs to be held accountable “to working people, their families and their employers.”

“When we embark upon these risky ways to the bottom, back to these 1980-style Reaganomic economic plans, it’s divisive, because it’s about growing inequality, not reducing it,” Notley said.

“This is a full-frontal attack on the overtime of working people.”

Along with changing overtime rules, Bill 2 will cut the minimum wage for students under 18 and return Alberta to old rules around union certification.

If the legislation passes, only employees who regularly work on a stat will be entitled to holiday pay, and must work 30 days in the previous 12 months to qualify for it.
