Votes of AUPE members at Foothills and Children’s hospitals to
be counted tonight
CALGARY – Results of voting on a mediator’s recommended settlement
by members of Local 055 of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees
at the Foothills Hospital and Alberta Children’s Hospital will
be counted this evening.
On-site voting took place Thursday and continues today at the two Calgary
hospitals.
AUPE officials expect that the result of the vote will be available
by about 9:30 p.m.
Media interested in the outcome can call AUPE President Dan MacLennan,
who will be in the union’s Calgary Regional Office and available
for interviews after the vote result is known. MacLennan may be contacted
on his cellular phone: 780-910-8392.
In addition, Staff Negotiator Karen Thibault will be available by cellular
phone; 403-816-7852.
If both AUPE members and the Calgary Health Region ratify the mediator’s
recommendation, it will become the basis for a new three-year contract
between the parties.
AUPE represents approximately 2,800 employees at both hospitals –
including general support staff at the children’s hospital and
both general support and licensed practical nurses, nursing attendants
and others at the Foothills.
