Alberta Union of Provincial Employees Grande Prairie

The bargaining committees for both NWP and AUPE met on September 18th and 19th to begin the bargaining process from the Grande Prairie campus general support services staff group. At the start of September 18th, the parties’ committees exchanged ingoing bargaining proposals. AUPE has tabled an ingoing bargaining proposal with a significant number of changes to the existing collective agreement. While NWP is happy to report that the committees were able to sign off on some articles during the two days of bargaining, we are unclear at this point about how long the bargaining process will take given the significant number of proposed changes that remain on the table. By agreement of both parties, bargaining will resume in January 2026.

As always, if you have any questions regarding collective bargaining, please contact either your association Chapter Chairperson, or Human Resources.
