The negotiation process began in May 2004 when the Bargaining Committee’s
members prepared and circulated surveys asking for members’
input for the upcoming round of negotiations.
Committee members then met with other AUPE long-term care groups
from around the province to develop proposals for bargaining.
Additional bargaining dates have been scheduled for Oct. 5 and 6,
2004. AUPE expects to table complete monetary proposals at that
time. |
