EDMONTON – The union representing Alberta licensed practical nurses and health-care aides has ratified a new deal with Covenant Health.
In a statement Monday, the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees says members voted 89 per cent in favour of the deal.
The agreement includes a 12 per cent pay increase over four years along with improved benefits.
It’s retroactive to April 1, 2024, and expires at the end of March 2028.
Covenant Health is a major health provider in the province, operating hospitals, continuing care facilities and other services.
It says the deal improves wages and working conditions for more than 2,900 staffers.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 24, 2026.
Note to readers:This is a corrected story. A previous version misidentified the job description of the AUPE workers who ratified the deal.
