Last week and over the weekend, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), Health Care Aides and many other health care workers represented by the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE) at public facilities throughout the province voted 98 per cent in favour of striking if a collective agreement can’t be reached in mediation.

The vote result must still be certified by the Alberta Labour Relations Board, AUPE President Sandra Azocar told an Edmonton news conference called to announce the tally Wednesday.
