AUPE members who work for the Government of Alberta will hold a strike vote from May 8 – May 12.
This is a Call to Action. We need all GOA members to help spread the word!
The government will take our demands more seriously – and maybe offer something better at the bargaining table – if we show them we are not afraid to strike. We need a strong strike mandate, and that means we need as many AUPE members as possible to vote.
Vote details
Voting begins at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 8, and ends at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, May 12.
Members are encouraged to vote online. To vote online, please log in to your MyAUPE account during the voting period.
You will need to create a MyAUPE account if you do not have one already. Your MyAUPE account is also your ticket to receive strike pay quickly. All members are strongly encouraged to create an account and use it to participate in the strike vote.
Members can also vote at Headquarters in Edmonton or any one of AUPE’s regional offices from 8:30 am to 4:30pm from May 8 – 12 (including on the weekend).
Here’s how you can help
Share the Alberta Labour Relations Board Strike Vote Notice poster at your worksite!
Click here to download the Strike Notice poster
Please add this Strike Vote Notice poster, as well as the poster version of this member update, to your union bulletin board at work.
Then, visit this website form to let AUPE know you put up the poster.
We need these notices up at Government of Alberta worksites across the province.
A strong strike mandate will show our employer that we are serious and inspire other AUPE members to fight for the wages, benefits, and working conditions we deserve.
Please contact your Government Services Bargaining Committee if you have any questions.
