great news for the dedicated members of the Alberta Public Service (APS)! Recently, unionized members voted to accept the mediator's recommendation and ratify a new contract.

This new four-year agreement comes after months of dedicated negotiations between Alberta’s government and the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE). It’s a significant step forward!

The agreement strikes a balance between competitive compensation for employees and long-term stability for the public service, ensuring that both employees and the public benefit.

Big thanks to the AUPE Government Services Bargaining Committee for their hard work in navigating these negotiations and to all public service employees for their invaluable contributions to Alberta!
