AUPE members to hold information picket at Edith Cavell Care Centre
LETHBRIDGE – Members of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees
who work at the Edith Cavell Care Centre will hold an information picket
between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 25, to draw attention to
their employer’s refusal to negotiate a fair first collective agreement.
The Lethbridge nursing home is operated by a Vancouver-area company –
Chantelle Management Ltd. – for the Chinook Health Region.
Members of AUPE Local 058/027 will be on the picket line to demonstrate
their concern with their employer’s apparent effort to keep them
from getting the first contract to which they are legally entitled.
About 100 employees at the nursing home voted to join AUPE in December
1999. They include support workers and personal care attendants.
