AUPE to protest proposed wage rollbacks for front-line workers

CALGARY – The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE) will hold a picket protest Tuesday at Calgary’s South Health Campus in response to the proposed cuts to their wages by the UCP government.  Public sector workers will form a picket line from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. outside the hospital. Last week, Finance Minister Travis Toews confirmed the government is asking public sector employees to roll back their wages between two to five per cent when wage arbitration talks resume.&nbs
