GSBC update #18: Strike vote set for May 8 - 12; employer’s offer explained

Update for Locals 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 009 & 012, Government of Alberta

Apr 24, 2025

In Update #17 sent to you on Friday (April 18), your negotiating team committed to providing comprehensive details about the market adjustments proposed by the Government of Alberta (GOA).

Despite what the GOA has told you, it is important to note that these adjustments apply to only 36% of our members, not 70%. The table provided below compares the union’s wage position with what the government has proposed.

We firmly believe that all members need substantial wage increases to counteract the high inflation we have endured in recent years.

While your Government Services Bargaining Committee (GSBC) has also identified some classifications that may require market adjustments, these adjustments must only be done after the application of a fair, equitable and comprehensive wage increase for all members. Any tactics aimed at dividing us are unjust and unacceptable.

We stand united as we prepare for our strike vote, scheduled to take place from May 8 - 12, following the telephone town-hall meetings on April 30 and May 1.

Employer’s offer versus union’s position

The Table X, and the summary in Table Y, below show the impact on each classification of the union and employer proposals. The union’s position would result in all members seeing 10%, 6%, 4% and 4% increase to wages over the four-year term of the proposed collective agreement. As a result, by 2027, each members’ wages would increase by the same amount of 24% (exclusive of compounding).

By contrast, the employer’s proposal results in different impacts for different classifications. For two-thirds of the bargaining unit, the employer would not include any market adjustments, resulting in wage increases of only 11.5% (exclusive of compounding) over the next four years. This is less than half of the union’s proposal.

For the other one-third of the bargaining unit, the employer has market adjustments ranging from 1.8% to 14% over four years depending on classification.

We have power

All members employed by the GOA have experienced the same rates of inflation. All of us face the same struggle to pay our bills, to feed and shelter our families. All of us face the same staff shortages and resulting toxic workplaces.

We need a collective agreement that works for all of us. We will not allow our employer to divide us. When we stick together and act as one, we have power.

Important telephone town halls

We will be holding telephone town halls at noon and 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 30, and Thursday, May 1.

These will include an update on bargaining and a discussion about a strike vote. It is imperative that you attend at least one of these town halls. We will let you know soon how to take part in the town halls.

Strike vote

The strike vote will take place from May 8 – 12. We will explain the voting process closer to the date.  

It is critical that we get a strong vote in favour of striking to give us the mandate and leverage to reach a fair settlement.
