Cheers to 100 Years! AUPE is celebrating 100 years of solidarity, and our past is inspiring members to fight for the future. One hundred years ago, on Wednesday, March 26, 1919, a small group of workers made their way towards Edmonton's First Presbyterian Church.
One of the founding members of the CSUA aka AUPE was
Alf Farmilo, Sec. Treasurer of the newly founded Alberta Federation of Labour (1912) as well as Recording Secretary of the Edmonton District Trades and Labour Council (1906) aka today as the EDLC Edmonton District Labour Council.
Brother Farmilo was Samuel Gompers man (AFL) in Alberta and as such was more conservatively inclined, which came to a head during the General Strike between him and Socialist Party Leader, Fellow Worker and Comrade Carl Berg, one of the executives of the EDTLC and representative of the One Big Union OBU on the council, and leader of the 1919 General Strike. He was recognized by the Edmonton Journal Edmonton Centennial as Labour's representative in their 100 Great Edmontonians.

Have you ever thought bosses need even more power over workers? No? Well, our UCP government seems to think so. 🤔
They want to get rid of overtime banking for non-union workers, bring back scabs for public sector labour disputes, and more! 👎🏾 What do you think of the government's Better for Bosses Act?
