Thousands of Alberta civil servants vote to strike to back demands
BY The Canadian Press, May 14, 2025 1:56 PM - REPORT AN ERROR
A strike date has not been set, but could happen in the next four months.
The union representing thousands of Alberta government workers has voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action. The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees says members have voted 90 per cent in favour of hitting the picket lines, but says the goal remains to get a deal at the bargaining table.
A strike date has not been set, but could happen in the next four months. The union represents roughly 23,000 people working in jobs ranging from law enforcement to social work. The union says it's seeking wage hikes, improved working conditions and job security. Alberta's finance minister did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
