The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees is currently engaged in negotiations with Olds College and Red Deer Polytechnic. AUPE VP, Edmonton Region Bobby-Joe Borodey told the Red Deer Advocate that negotiations have been “divisive” and highlighted some of the key issues in the negotiations, which include hours of work, probation, and pay. While a strike is not imminent, Borodey said that “if we don’t see movement from these employees and employers at the bargaining table, it’s possible.” AUPE’s members in the provincial government have voted 90% in favour of a strike, which Borodey said could have an impact on other sectors engaged in bargaining.
