Officials released a statement Friday, after negotiations resumed between the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees and the Alberta Public Service on Nov. 5.
"The province has revised its bargaining position, asking the public service to take an additional three per cent reduction in the first year and zeros for the next three years. The previous position was for a one per cent reduction." Barry says public service workers, which include those who help provide social supports and access to Albertans and keep them safe through the work of peace officers, have "literally kept government running during the crisis."He says the union will seek to fight the pay cut at the bargaining table. Barry is also considering filing a complaint with the Alberta Labour Relations Board.
"The Alberta government’s labour costs have grown by nearly 15 per cent between 2014 and 2019, while compensation paid to all Alberta employees has declined by five per cent," said Franco Terrazzano, director of CTF Alberta, in a release.
It's the same with Ottawa U chartwells they cut benefits, they cut, hours and they aren't giving raises like they should be giving.
