Town Hall Meeting in Red Deer

Local 009 Vice Chair and GSBC member Tammy Zimmerman, at Red Deer Town Hall meeting
Hi Folks:
Even though it was quite cold tonight we had a great turnout for this very informative and necessary event.  Yes it is bargaining time again and our Bargaining team is working hard in our best interest.  I encourage all to attend Town Hall meetings in your area's and contact the bargaining Team if you have questions, all their information is on the AUPE web site. 
Please, they/we are asking for your support with upcoming negotiations IE communication networking, possible information pickets and generally letting the employer know that 0% is disrespectful and unacceptable! The membership had made it clear that we want change and are willing to wait. 
Thanks again for all the continuous support! 
Please keep watching for updates and for events we need your support!
In Solidarity
Penny Bates
Local 009 Chair

Save Our Seniors Rally in Red Deer


Greeting Everyone!
What a beautiful day for a Rally!
Yes were in front of the 5010 building (In Red Deer), with a great turnout!
Thank you to all Local 009 members that attended and also to all of
the other Locals as well,
I see Solidarity at work!
Please continue to support the cause of keeping Valley Park Manor open
and as well, keeping a watchful eye on all of the Seniors homes within
Alberta!  We have to always be diligent when it comes to the
GOA/Alberta Health Services and any other Employer which seems to
forget that we are people not product!
For now
In Solidarity
Sis Bates
