In the last AHS GSS bargaining update, your negotiating team let you know we rejected AHS’s offer to extend the last Memorandum of Agreement. Because we rejected it, we can now get back to bargaining as usual. 

Our next bargaining meetings with the employer are scheduled for May 19, 27, and 28, and then June 11 and 15. 

Supporting members 

Your negotiating team is fired up and ready to get back to the bargaining table. General Support Services members have worked tirelessly during the pandemic, and it’s time the employer recognizes how important we are to the front-line health care services Albertans depend on. The UCP government’s threats and attacks have only made us more determined to fight for a fair contract for Alberta’s health care heroes. 

But even heroes get hurt sometimes, and it’s okay to ask for help. We work stressful jobs, and our work and lives have been made even harder because of COVID-19. That’s why AUPE offers free counselling for AUPE members and their families. 

If you are experiencing intense anxiety or vulnerability, call AUPE’s Crisis Support Service line at 1-844-744-7026. Free, confidential help is available for AUPE members and their immediate family members (spouses and children). This service is available to you even if your crisis is not work-related.
