“The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE) and the Government of Alberta have received a mediator’s recommendation to settle bargaining for the Alberta Public Service.

“These recommendations are a result of months of dedicated negotiations between the two parties and I want to thank the AUPE for their collaboration in working to bring a resolution to this round of bargaining.

“Alberta’s government values and appreciates the hard work of the 22,000 employees who are members of the AUPE and I look forward to the results of the ratification vote.”
