- We added the ability for ad hoc individuals to attend EMAC meetings as needed.
- Article 7 - Union Stewards
- We made minor adjustments.
- Article 5 - Union Recognition
- We changed language to remove "the size of a lapel pin."
- Article 9 Personnel File Clearance
- We added calendar days, excluding annual vacation.
- Article 10 - Disciplinary Action
- We signed off current language.
- Article 16 - Probationary Appointment
- We added language to cover a Temporary Employee moving to a permanent position.
Wear red to show your support
We will continue bargaining with the employer on April 14, May 22 and 23, and June 12 and 13. Wear red on these days to show the employer our solidarity! Send photos of you and your coworkers wearing red to photos@aupe.org to be posted on AUPE’s social media.
