With a June 17 deadline looming, AUPE is demanding guarantees that salaries, seniority, and benefits won’t be eroded — fearing workers could be treated as new hires without formal agreements. A proposed letter of understanding outlines maintaining current pay, job locations, and seniority if service continues uninterrupted. While the ministry insists no layoffs will occur and services remain unaffected, Premier Danielle Smith frames the move as streamlining preventative health under one department — but workers and unions remain wary of hidden costs to their hard-earned protections.
