Component Bargaining

Health Sciences Association of Alberta has launched a media campaign to inform the provinces' Emergency Medical Services personnel about the benefits of joining 'Alberta's #1 EMS Union'.

New union members from the casino are drop team workers and supervisors who are responsible for collecting money from gaming tables and slot machines, transporting it to the casino's count room, and - under both audio and video surveillance - counting the proceeds.

Vote came as a result of an application by Labrador-Grenfell for a single bargaining unit for hospital support staff who were represented by NAPE and CUPE.  A group of approximately 90 non-union employees also took part in the voting process and are also now NAPE members.

Colleges have asked Ontario Labour Relations Board to deny application for certification outright - want the ballot boxes to remain sealed and they don’t want the votes to be counted.  Union calls on Minister to act.
