CapitalCare GSS: The employer does not budge
Bargaining update for Local 049, CapitalCare GSS
Oct 31, 2025
Your team met with the employer on October 21 and 22 for bargaining.
We had long and thorough discussions about respect in the workplace and our workloads. We also brought up your concerns about working short.
Unfortunately, the employer did not budge, and we made little progress despite our many discussions. Your team hears you, and we will continue fighting for the improved collective agreement we deserve.
Our next bargaining meetings are not yet scheduled. We will begin bargaining for our raises and other monetary items when we meet again.
Keep wearing red to show your solidarity and remember to sign up for your MyAUPE account. You will need your account to participate in our future votes, including contract ratification vote and a possible strike vote. Visit aupe.org/user/register to create your account today.
Please contact a member of your negotiating team if you have any questions.
