Happening now.
The UCP just tabled the 'Public Sector Wage Arbitration Deferral Act' which tries to use government muscle to delay the June 30 wage arbitration deadline for AUPE members working for AHS and GOA.
Members in Edmonton have gathered at the Legislature Rotunda to respond to the UCPs attempt to delay wage arbitration until NOVEMBER 2019!

CLASS WAR IN ALBERTA AUPE FIGHTS BACK
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?

AUPE - Alberta Union of Provincial Employees
“The UCP government is directly interfering with the course of negotiations for approximately 70,000 AUPE members.
“Bill 9 is an abuse of the legislative power of government and breaks legally binding contracts. If passed, it will deny workers their negotiated rights. That’s shameful.

“We will explore all legal options available should this bill pass." - AUPE president Guy Smith.
