Local 048/Chapter 042: Please attend important chapter meetings
AUPE members at two separate facilities now belong to the same Local and Chapter, a move that will bring strength in numbers and solidarity.
The following groups of members all now belong to Local 048/Chapter 042:
- Nursing-care workers at the Sundre Seniors’ Supportive Living facility;
- Support workers at the Sundre Seniors’ Supportive Living facility; and
- Support workers at Mount View Lodge in Olds.
In Sundre, the nursing-care members are employed by Bethany Care Society, while the support workers are employed by Mountain View Seniors’ Housing (MVSH). The facility is operated by MVSH, but it recently contracted Bethany to handle nursing care.
Mount View Lodge in Olds is also operated by MVSH and it is the employer of support workers there.
This strength and solidarity is particularly important as we head into bargaining collective agreements for each of the three bargaining units in Chapter 42.
All of you are encouraged to attend an important chapter meeting on August 30 in Sundre. It is at this meeting that you will choose fellow members to represent you in bargaining.
Members at Mount View Lodge in Olds are also invited to a meet-n-greet on August 24.
