Government of Alberta members – it's time for our strike vote!

AUPE members who have worked at least one shift for the Government of Alberta within the 60 days prior to May 12, 2025, are eligible to vote.

WHEN: May 8–12, 2025

WHERE: Online or in person (info below)

Members are encouraged to vote online by logging in to their MyAUPE accounts.

If you log into your MyAUPE account between May 8 - 12 and do not see a ballot, it means you were not on the list of voters. In that case you must visit an AUPE office to vote in person.

It is time for you to decide our next steps in bargaining.

A strong strike mandate shows the government that we are serious, and a strong voter turnout shows that it is not just a few of us—it's all of us. We must be ready to stand together. Your participation is essential.

Voting opens at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 8 and closes at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, May 12.

You must have a MyAUPE account to vote online.

How to Vote

1. Sign in to your MyAUPE account.

2. You can find the vote link in one of four ways: 

   a. Click the button above!
   b. On the homepage, right at the top near the vote countdown clock, you will see a button to vote.
   c. On the homepage, next to the MyAUPE sign in button, you will see a button that says, “Vote Now!” (Once you vote, this button will disappear.)
   d. On your profile page once you sign in, you will see a large banner with a link to the vote. (Once you vote, the banner will disappear.)

3. Select either “I am in favour” or “I am against,” then click Submit.

If you prefer to vote in person, or if you are not on the voters list, you can cast your paper ballot at any AUPE regional office during designated voting hours.

This is required to verify your identity and ensure only eligible members vote.

Why This Vote Matters

A successful strike vote does not mean we immediately go on strike. Instead, it gives us the legal authority to strike if necessary. It also puts pressure on the government to bargain fairly and take our demands seriously.

We can fight for better wages, benefits, and working conditions with a strong strike mandate.  

AUPE members should know how our Essential Services Agreement impacts them in the event of a strike.
