Bargaining Resumes
Your negotiating team members met with the employer on March 2, 3, and 4 to continue negotiations.
Our meetings went very well, and we agreed on improvements to several articles. Your teams are happy with how negotiations have gone so far, and we are optimistic and hopeful our meetings with the employer are productive moving ahead.
Our next meeting dates have not yet been scheduled, but we are looking forward to returning to the bargaining table.
Support for AUPE members
We know the last year has been difficult for everyone. If you are in crisis, AUPE is here to help you.
Your AUPE membership allows you access to free counselling if you are experiencing intense anxiety or vulnerability. If that sounds like what you’re experiencing, call AUPE’s Crisis Support Service at 1-844-744-7026. After an initial assessment to ensure that your crisis is related to workplace events, you will receive up to six counselling sessions per crisis.
Morneau Shepell (formerly Solareh), a mental health counselling organization, provides this service completely free and confidential to AUPE members. Crisis support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year.
Get involved
Make sure you receive all your bargaining updates, as well as other major AUPE news. Create your own personal MyAUPE account today. You will need a MyAUPE account to participate in this year’s annual general meetings and elections, so be sure to sign up if you’re feeling motivated to get more involved in our union.
Please talk to your negotiating team members or AUPE resource staff if you have any questions. Contact your Local’s negotiating representatives to see how you can get involved and make sure you and your co-workers are informed. We are here to support you!
