YOUR UNION SURVEY

Sisters and Brothers,

our Union has been informed of a recent increase of COVID-19 cases.  We are working with Alberta Health Services and community support groups to closely monitor the situation on a daily basis.

As this set of negotiations will be more transparent and inclusive, we will be consulting with you regularly as you move through this process to make sure we understand your needs and wishes.

Thank you for your assistance and we look forward to your responses.
