Unions play a vital role in moving Alberta forward.
Workers in the Building Trades and in AUPE know that together they are strong. Workers like us are the backbone of society and we benefit from the power that being part of a union brings. Our unions advocate for living wages, job security, and occupational health & safety – what all Albertans deserve.
The powerful bonds that exist between over 95,000 AUPE members and 60,000 BTA members are the building blocks for high quality public services, vital infrastructure, and a strong economy.
We share the same values and believe in raising the bar at worksites across Alberta.
Here's what union members had to say:
“We are the hands-on working people in all industries. We keep things running.”
“We have pensions. We both work demanding and physically hard jobs. We are protected in our jobs.”
“Being with AUPE, I have a lot of job security and someone to help me through difficult situations with my employers. The BTA has allowed my dad to retire with comfort and dignity.”
