Your negotiating team invited AHS back to the bargaining table, even though AHS wanted to wait until we finished the Essential Services Agreement (ESA) and move on to formal mediation.
While we finalize the ESA, your team wants to continue negotiations. Moving on to formal mediation should be an option only if absolutely necessary.
Your team wants to reach a deal at the table. That should be AHS’s priority as well.
We should be able to get things done without a mediator. To bargain in good faith is the right thing to do. Your team is waiting for the employer’s response.
Essential Services Agreement update
ESA teams for AHS and AUPE met with an Umpire on May 30 to discuss scheduling and other concerns. We are negotiating a Letter of Understanding and will meet again on June 12.
AUPE is cautiously optimistic that, with help from the Umpire, we are making progress on the ESA.
Register today for Strike Captain Training
There is a possibility of a strike or lockout, so AUPE members must be ready.
We need to stand together to show AHS we are willing to fight for the wages we deserve.
Register today for an upcoming Strike Captain Course. This in-person course is only 1 day, and you get time off work to take it.
Keep wearing red!
Show solidarity with your negotiating team and coworkers by wearing red! If you take any group photos or selfies, email [email protected] to share on AUPE’s social media
Please contact a member of your negotiating team if you have any questions.
