Your Alberta Health Services Nursing Care Negotiating Team is preparing for bargaining. We met on December 3, 4, and 5 to talk strategy, review your responses to our bargaining survey, and begin drafting proposals.
Bargaining for a new collective agreement begins in 2024. Nearly all AUPE members—about 82,000 of us—will be bargaining next year; we’re all in this together.
Your team will meet again in January and February to finish drafting our proposals for how to improve our collective agreement. We received more bargaining survey responses than ever before—thank you! Your survey responses will help us focus on the big issues that matter for members, including the wages and recognition we deserve.
We all know workloads, staffing levels, and addressing our increased scope of practice are on everyone’s mind, so we will be sure to focus on these issues when creating our proposals.
Keep an eye out for future bargaining updates and be sure to share them with your coworkers. We will need your support and solidarity to secure our next collective agreement.
Please contact your negotiating team representative if you have any questions.
