Local 020 and ATB Financial representatives meet provincially appointed mediator
EDMONTON – Representatives of AUPE Local 020 and ATB Financial met at union headquarters in Edmonton Wednesday and yesterday to work with provincially appointed mediator Bertha Greenstein in an effort to resolve the primary items in dispute in collective bargaining.
No agreement was reached, but an additional mediation date was set for Sept. 16, 2009.
Collective bargaining for a new contract between AUPE and ATB Financial reached an impasse in the spring and a joint application was made by the parties to seek the assistance of a provincially appointed mediator to reach an agreement.
AUPE represents approximately 1,600 employees of ATB Financial at branches throughout Alberta.
Local 020 members are urged to visit the AUPE Website and the Local 020 Website (http://www.aupelocal20.com/) for updates on mediation as they become available.
