Alberta Union of Public Employees
The Alberta Union of Public Employees (AUPE)
issued a
press release, "Clamping down on union dues
while accepting donations
from the rich," on July 7, 2020. It says in
part:
"Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE)
members
are dropping the mask on Bill 32, which AUPE
Secretary-Treasurer Jason
Heistad says is just another UCP attack on
working people's ability to
build people power and fight for all Albertans
disguised as 'employee choice.'"[...]
"Fighting for equality in the workplace; for
better
occupational health and safety (OHS) standards
that keep us and our
families safe; for stronger social services; for
adequate, affordable
housing; for equal and fair access to free
health care: all of this is
a social issue, and it's at the heart of our
everyday mobilizing and
collective
bargaining."[...]
"The UCP want us to think this bill is about
individual
choice. It's really about dismantling our
collective power, which is
our political power. And that's clearly what
this government fears
most."
