Convention Reports & Resolutions CONVENTION REPORTS & RESOLUTIONS OCTOBER 17, 18 & 19, 2019 Edmonton Convention Centre 9797 Jasper Avenue, Edmonton AB #AUPECONVENTION In 2019 AUPE is celebrating its Centennial. We share this long history with the CSAA, AUPE’s predecessor organization. Please join us in honouring the labour activists that came before us, and guiding this organization forward for the activists that will come after. Unitas Firmitas Protectio To represent and support AUPE members through solidarity and mobilization. AUPE MISSION STATEMENT 1 FOREWORD To Elected Officers, Delegates, Observers, Life Members, Guests and Staff Greetings and Welcome to Your Convention This being our Centenary year, we must look back with pride in all that we have achieved and overcome in the past 100 years. After all, we are a union that stands up and fights for workers rights and the protection of the services our members proudly deliver to Albertans. At the same time, we need to focus firmly on the future. A future that is becoming ever more challenging as threats to the well-being of our members, and the union as a whole, are increasing through the actions of a provincial government determined to cut services, jobs and wages. You come to Convention in very interesting times. A time that demands our solidarity, commitment, hard work and action like never before. We know that you take the responsibility of being here very seriously. Your fellow workers have entrusted you to make decisions, engage in discussion, and ensure that our great union is prepared and stronger than ever. Whether you are a veteran of AUPE Conventions or a first time participant, you all have an essential role to play. You are an integral part of our democracy in action. And, like any healthy democracy, it requires that you participate, engage, and make tough decisions in an environment of mutual respect and support for each other toward the common goals of our Convention theme: “Unity Strength Protection”. This theme is based on the principles held by those few brave souls in a cold church basement that started us on our incredible journey 100 years ago. We owe it to them, and ourselves, to not only keep their vision alive and well, but to help it grow and thrive. That is why you are here. We want you to embrace the many opportunities to help move us forward and to enhance your own bonds of solidarity with your fellow workers. Convention, each year, is a massive undertaking for all involved, and we want to sincerely thank all the staff who work so hard to help make your Convention a success. But, ultimately, that success rests in your hands, to be part of an exciting opportunity to continue our journey of “Unity Strength Protection” for the next 100 years. Welcome to your Convention!

Participants are expected to challenge and debate issues and not individuals. Participants shall engage in behaviours that are respectful of others race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity or occupation. Behaviours that undermine participation such as harassment; racism; sexism; rude or crude remarks, take away from the rights of individuals to play a part in AUPE activities. We encourage members to call each other “brother” and “sister.” In doing so we promote our own solidarity and equality. If you feel your rights are being violated, and you are not able to address it, talk to one of the AUPE staff or officers to assist you in dealing with your concerns. 4 AGENDA THURSDAY, October 17 9:00 am - 9:30 am Call to Order • Credentials Committee • Acknowledgement of Treaty Land • Minute of Silence • Statement of Equality • “O Canada” & “Solidarity Forever” led by Mike Dempsey, Vice-President, accompanied by Brass Quintet (Edmonton Musicians’ Association) • Review of Fire Drill Procedure • Rules of Order • Adoption of Agenda • Acceptance of 42st Annual Convention Minutes • Presentation of Locals 9:30 am - 9:50 am President’s Address 9:50 am - 11:00 am Officers’ Reports 11:00 am - 11:25 am Report of the Anti-Privatization Committee 11:25 am – 11:50 pm Report of the Committee on Political Action 11:50 pm – 12:00 pm Presentation by P.

Our home and native land, True patriot love, in all of us command. With glowing hearts, we see thee rise, The true north strong and free, From far and wide, O’ Canada We stand on guard for thee. God keep our land, glorious and free, O’ Canada, we stand on guard for thee, O’ Canada, we stand on guard for thee. Solidarity Forever 1. When the union’s inspiration through the workers’ blood shall run, There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun. Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one? But the union makes us strong. Chorus: Solidarity Forever! Solidarity Forever! Solidarity Forever! For the union makes us strong. 2. It is we who ploughed the prairies; built the cities where we trade, Dug the mines and built the workshops; endless miles of railroad laid. Now we stand outcast and starving; ‘midst the wonders we have made; But the union makes us strong. Chorus 3. Now the women of the union; they have always joined the fight, And we’ll fight for women’s issues; and we’ll fight for women’s rights. And together we will struggle ‘til we win equality, For women make the union strong. Chorus 4. They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn, But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn. We can break their haughty power; gain our freedom when we learn, That the union makes us strong. Chorus 5. In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold; Greater than the might of armies; magnified a thousand-fold. We can bring to earth a new world from the ashes of the old. For the union makes us strong. Chorus 6. They divide us by our colour; they divide us by our tongue, They divide us men and women; they divide us old and young, But they’ll tremble at our voices, when they hear these verses sung For the Union makes us strong. Chorus 7 REPORTS & RESOLUTIONS REFERRED TO COMMITTEES The following Reports and Resolutions are referred to the noted Convention Committees: ANTI-PRIVATIZATION

  • Mill Woods Transit Centre? the City Is Starting Construction on a New and Improved Mill Woods Transit Centre
    Why is the City replacing the Mill Woods Transit Centre? The City is starting construction on a new and improved Mill Woods Transit Centre. The facility will replace the existing transit centre and offer a closer connection to the future Mill Woods Stop on the Valley Line LRT. The transit centre has been designed to simplify transit to transit connections and will integrate with the future private development and active pedestrian transportation network in the area. The new transit centre will be approximately a 1-2 minute walk (100m) from the future Mill Woods Stop on the Valley Line Southeast LRT Extension. What is the Valley Line Southeast LRT project? The Valley Line Southeast is an urban-style low floor system that will run 13 km from Downtown to Mill Woods, and features: ● 11 street-level stops ● An elevated station with a 1,300-spot Park and Ride facility and a full transit centre located in the Wagner industrial area ● The new Tawatinâ Bridge across North Saskatchewan River ● A short tunnel from the north face of the River Valley through to the Quarters redevelopment ● An interchange point at Churchill Square to access the existing Metro and Capital LRT lines This project has a capital cost of $1.8 billion, and is being delivered as a public-private partnership (P3). TransEd Partners are the prime contractor on the project, and are responsible for the final design, build-out, partial finance, vehicles, operations and maintenance of the line for 30 years. Construction on the Valley Line Southeast began in 2016 and the target for completion is December 2020.
