AUPE Regional Contact List

Under the rules of the government’s health sector labour relations law, passed by the Legislature in March as Bill 27, Alberta Labour Relations Board officers have recommended votes between AUPE and CUPE in Regions 3, 6, 7 and 8, and a vote among AUPE, HSAA and CUPE in Region 4.

A Board officer’s report containing a similar recommendation is expected Friday.
The board officers’ recommendations for General Support Services are also expected to be formalized in the first week of June, after the ALRB has heard appeals, if any.

Within two weeks of that time, mail-in ballots are expected to be sent by the ALRB to all eligible employees in health regions where votes are taking place. The ballots will be in a package that contains literature and other materials from AUPE and other unions on the ballot.

All eligible General Support Services employees should take part in this important vote in their region. If you are a General Support Services employee, you should make sure that your employer has your correct address and contact information to ensure that you are sent a voting package by the ALRB.

If you need help contacting your employer, call AUPE at 1-800-232-7284 or contact us by e-mail at info@aupe.org.

Contacts are available in each region to help members of any union with the voting process.
