Employees with the Town of Bowden have voted to join the Canadian Union of Public Employees.
Seven employees from the operations, facilities and bylaw departments voted two-thirds in favour to join Canada’s largest union, which has more than 600,000 members.
“In CUPE, we believe no group of employees is too small to join a union,” said CUPE Alberta president Marle Roberts.
She said Bowden employees are seeking a respectful and co-operative relationship with their employer.
