Bargaining Update - GSBC update #34
GoA Members to Vote on Mediator’s Recommendation
Mediation between the Government Services Bargaining Committee (GSBC) and the Government of Alberta has come to an end with the mediator writing a recommendation for settlement that would form a new collective agreement if ratified by the membership and the government.
As we heard at previous town halls and membership meetings, you—the GoA members— wanted to have the final decision on whatever the outcome was in bargaining and mediation. We recognize and respect this and the GSBC is now placing that decision in your hands through a vote to be held from Friday, August 29 at 9:00 a.m. to Wednesday, September 3 at 4:30 p.m.
This vote will be online only through your MyAUPE account.
If you do not yet have a MyAUPE account, please sign up on www.aupe.org/myaupe as soon as possible.
We want you to be fully informed when casting your vote and making this critical decision. Ultimately, if the majority of you vote “yes,” you will have a new collective agreement. If the majority of you vote “no,” we will go on strike before September 9.
In addition to the information below and attached, we will be holding important telephone town hall meetings on Thursday, August 28 at 12:00 noon and 6:00 p.m. We strongly encourage you to attend these town halls to get as informed as possible.
We continue to thank you for your ongoing involvement and engagement in your bargaining. It’s more important than ever that you participate in this crucial vote.
Below are summaries of changes and links to ensure that you are as fully informed as possible in making your decision.
