Bargaining continues between the Alberta Union of Public Employees and several AB institutions. At Bow Valley College, AUPE Local 071 Chapter 011 and the employer have settled all remaining non-monetary items, but no agreement has yet been reached on wages. Representatives for AUPE at Northwestern Polytechnic Grande Prairie met with the institution for a first round of meetings. Six articles have been agreed upon with the employer, with discussions on the grievance procedure and union recognition articles to take place at the next meeting. At the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, AUPE representatives pushed for greater raises, but AUPE said that differences remain between the employer offer and the union’s demands.
