AUPE Local 12

✊

If you are able to support these workers please do, CUPE members attend our rallies in solidarity with us.
These worker's right to strike was taken away by Danielle Smith... an attack on Worker's Rights is an attack on all Workers.

"We are stronger together".

🚨 Charter Rights Under Attack! Join the Education Day of Action! 🚨

On September 21, 2024, CUPE education workers across Alberta are hitting the streets in Fort McMurray, Calgary, Edmonton, Drumheller, Okotoks, and Leduc to protest the Smith government’s violation of our Charter-protected right to free collective bargaining! ✊
