Ned Yeung<p>Alberta Health Services has referred to the proposal to stop paying minimum wage (imposing a minimum wage gap) as a "basket of goodies", while doling out raises to managers and non-union employees like candy.</p><p>The average living wage in Alberta is $21.72, far above the $15 minimum wage.</p><p><a href="https://www.aupe.org/news/news-and-updates/ahs-gss-ahs-loves-low-wages-bargaining-breaks-down" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aupe.org/news/news-and-updates</span><span class="invisible">/ahs-gss-ahs-loves-low-wages-bargaining-breaks-down</span></a></p><p>This is the same organization which is privatizing as many of the services administered by General Support Support Services to outside agencies who are charging many times the cost of internal staff, resulting in "horror stories" in Alberta hospitals, such as some staff reporting "finding dentures and used diapers in supposedly clean linens," and other effects of K-Bro's private laundry services (some picture examples below).</p><p>Cleanliness is not to be taken so lightly in healthcare. “Health care works when we focus on quality, not profits,” says Curtis Jackson, AUPE vice-president and chair of the union’s Anti-Privatization Committee. “Health care staff and patients across the province experience the awful reality of for-profit laundry services first-hand. Albertans deserve a higher standard of health care, which can only be achieved through public ownership and accountability. Taking publicly-delivered health services out of the public domain and awarding them as contracts to private corporations has consistently cost our province and everyday Albertans more while providing lower quality and diminished outcomes."</p><p>This is also the same organization which is giving a 6% raise to union-exempt employees, which largely (2/3rds) consists of management (since management represents the employer's interests and cannot be a part of union efforts), as well as Deputy Ministers appointed by the UCP as part of their "reorganizing" of AHS into 5 separate health ministries, and other positions which can't be unionized (see letter below).</p><p>Not only giving management a raise, but snubbing the Union, under-funding public workers, and forcing privatization.</p><p>AUPE wants to bargain and negotiate, but AHS wants to go into formal mediation. Perhaps this is the strategy of the Alberta Government who had immediately thrown the Dispute Inquiry Board (DIB) on CUPE workers in public education when they voted to strike.</p><p>Though we have Essential Services Agreements which guarantee a minimum staffing requirement exempt from striking, and that is supposed to protect us from such "back to work" orders by an overreaching government.</p><p>In any case, AHS General Support Services workers need to be prepared for the possibility of a strike or employer lockout in the upcoming future.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abpoli</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/unionstrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unionstrong</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>healthcare</span></a></p>
