Provincial government employees have voted in favour of strike action, if a new contract agreement isn’t reached.
The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, which represents 23-thousand workers in government services, says 90 per cent of those casting ballots were in favour of a walkout.
The union says the results are good for 120 days……but they remain committed to reaching a settlement.
They’ve been negotiating for more than a year, seeking increased pay, improved working conditions and job security.
Public sector workers have only been allowed to strike since 2017.
