CUPE

Alberta government minister of finance Nate Horner and treasury board minister Demetrios Nicolaides accused CUPE of pressuring a nursing agency to stop providing services at schools. CUPE Alberta president Rory Gill called the accusations outrageous.

School support workers who are members of CUPE 3550 are in the fifth week of a strike that seems to be at an impasse. Environics Research recently conducted a survey for CUPE which found the majority of the 1,002 participants support the current job action and agreed that education workers in Alberta are underpaid and deserve wage increases.

Perspectives are like opinions, everyone's got one. Different people with different interests have different perspectives on the continuing strike of Edmonton Public School support staff. The articles below highlight the perspectives of former and present Educational Assistants and CUPE Spokesperson, Lou Arab.

I'm hoping to post the perspectives of representatives from the government and the Edmonton Public School Board soon.
