AUPE’s Constitution sets out the duties of the Committee on Political Action as follows:
The Committee on Political Action shall:
The Parkland Institute has released a report called A Thumb on the Scale containing a dire warning to all union members in Alberta.
AUPE’s Committee on Political Action (COPA) has reviewed the report, and we believe the UCP has created a serious labour crisis that affects every member of every bargaining unit in Alberta.
The Parkland Institute report reveals various ways in which Danielle Smith’s government has, and likely will continue to, interfere with the public sector’s fair bargaining process in 2024. Their goals are clear: to pit workers against each other and give negotiators no real power.
These strong-arm tactics are already driving workers out of the public sector and causing catastrophic disruption to the lives of Albertans. It’s time to stop pretending that we can’t afford nice things – like a living wage and realistic workloads.
For urgent COPA-related inquiries, please contact COPA Chair James Gault directly.
Vice-President
James Gault is one of the six (6) Vice-Presidents for the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE).
