Rally @ LaGrange’s Office

Early in October, a handful of our members trekked to Red Deer to attend a rally, conference, and meeting with AEEC (Alberta Education Employees Committee) of CUPE Alberta. Katey gave an impassioned speech at the rally. We met many people from all over Alberta who work in the Education sector, and learned about lobbying, the current state of politics and the economy here in Alberta. We’re all frustrated about the lack of wage increases over the past 8 years, and we renewed our pact to work together as a provincial education sector within CUPE.
