Bargaining Update: AHS proposes Memorandum of Agreement extensions
Alberta Health Services (AHS) has approached your GSS and Nursing Care negotiating teams with a proposal to extend our recent Memorandums of Agreement until June 30, 2021. AHS has also asked if we would agree to suspend collective bargaining until June 30.
The current Memorandums of Agreement, which your AUPE negotiating teams secured in January, gives AUPE GSS and AUPE Nursing Care members job security, access to COVID-19 isolation pay, one hour’s pay for attending COVID-19 vaccine appointments during work hours, and more. However, both Memorandums expire on March 31, 2021.
With the end of March fast approaching, your negotiating teams are taking the newly proposed offer of extension from AHS very seriously. We will meet to discuss this offer and whether it meets our needs as AUPE members.
Both AHS GSS and Nursing Care teams will update members once we have made our decisions.
