Literally thousands of AUPE members and supporters from other unions have already attended AUPE barbecues throughout Alberta as the Bill 27 runoff votes campaign continues.

"When we see more than 2,400 people at a single barbecue in Calgary, we know that support for AUPE is very strong among health region employees," said AUPE President Dan MacLennan.

MacLennan was referring to the June 11 barbecue at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, where more than 2,400 people attended, picked up AUPE campaign literature and such items as AUPE water bottles and buttons.

Crowds ranging from a few hundred to nearly 2,000 have enjoyed Alberta beef at barbecues at such health care facilities as the Rockyview Hospital and Peter Lougheed Hospital in Calgary, the Royal Alexandra Hospital and University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta Hospital Ponoka, and the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital in Grande Prairie.

In all, nearly 10,000 people have attended the AUPE barbecues held so far.

A key aim of the barbecues is to give AUPE members the opportunity to tell the members of other unions about the benefits of membership in Alberta’s largest and most effective union, and to encourage them to vote for AUPE as their union in the runoff votes required by Bill 27, the government’s legislation that restructures labour relations in Alberta’s nine health region.
