Labour Relations Board Directive sets dates for runoff vote counts
EDMONTON — The Alberta Labour Relations Board has issued a directive
setting dates for counting union-representation runoff vote ballots
in the Aspen, Calgary, Capital, David Thompson, East Central and Peace
Country health regions.
AUPE had requested that ballot boxes be opened and votes be counted
sooner so that the work of health region employees and union representatives
could return to normal as soon as possible.
AUPE sees no reason why health region employees should not know the
results of their democratic votes.
However, at the request of CUPE, the Alberta Labour Relations Board
has delayed the counting of ballots until after CUPE’s five-day
National Convention in Quebec City, which runs from Oct. 27 to Oct.
31.
Ballots for all General Support Service units will be counted as
follows:
Monday, Nov. 3, 2003
9 a.m. — Capital Health Region
1 p.m. — Calgary Health Region
Tuesday, Nov.4, 2003
Starting 9 a.m. — East Central Health Region, Peace Country Health
Region
Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2003
Starting at 9 .am. — David Thompson Health Region, Aspen Health
Region
Ballots will be counted at the Alberta Labour Relations Board headquarters
in Edmonton. AUPE will provide information to members on the vote counts
as soon as it is available.
