Your negotiating team met with Olds College on November 13, 14, and 20 for some productive bargaining meetings.
Your team is focused on some small improvements to our collective agreement, but we want to finish these conversations quickly so that we can move on to wage increases and other monetary proposals.
The employer made minor proposals as well, but some were rollbacks. Your team rejected all the proposals that would weaken our collective agreement.
There are some proposals to wrap up, but we are on track to exchange monetary proposals, including raises, when we meet in the new year.
Your team is watching other bargaining tables closely. AUPE members are facing the same challenges across the province, no matter who they work for, and we are all united in the same struggle for better wages and benefits.
Next meetings
Our next meetings are not yet scheduled, but we have agreed to meet early in 2025.
Wear red on our upcoming bargaining dates to show your support. Show your solidarity by sending photos of you and your coworkers to photos@aupe.org to be posted on AUPE’s social media.
Please contact a member of your negotiating team if you have any questions or feedback about this bargaining update.
