UNA congratulates AUPE on reaching a tentative agreement, averting Auxiliary Nursing Care strike

The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees announced this morning that they had reached a tentative agreement for their Auxiliary Nursing Care members employed by Alberta Health Services, Recovery Alberta, Primary Care Alberta, Assisted Living Alberta and Allen Gray Continuing Care Centre. This means that Licensed Practical Nurses, Health Care Aides and other health care workers represented by AUPE are not going on strike today.

United Nurses of Alberta thanks our Local executives who were working hard over the past few weeks to inform and provide guidance to UNA members about what to do in the event of the strike and how to best support their AUPE co-workers.

UNA congratulates AUPE for reaching a tentative agreement and commends our AUPE co-workers for demonstrating such strong solidarity in their fight for fairness and respect.
