This morning, the Edmonton Journal finally printed this letter from Heidi Janz.
It only took them a week.
Given what we've seen in the past, we can probably expect AUPE's response to be up tomorrow morning.
A study in contrasts

Re: "Seniors' care workers win retirement plan from employer," Aug. 18 The successful contract negotiation by a group of seniors' care workers, represented by the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, and their employer, Revera Churchill, sharply contrasts with the ongoing labour dispute between the AUPE and SAIL (Supports for Artspace Independent Living) Inc.
The first dispute pitted Alberta's largest union against a national, for-profit home care provider. In the second case, instead of taking their demands for higher wages to Alberta Health Services, which is SAIL's sole funding source, AUPE seems quite content to simply continue to bully residents of Artspace by picketing outside their home.
Does AUPE actually want a resolution or are they actively trying to bankrupt SAIL so AHS will bring in a big-box home-care provider to take over the contract at Artspace?
