The Civil Service Association of Alberta Act was repealed June 14th, 1976 and AUPE was incorporated under The Societies Act on the same date. All interests of the CSA were transferred from the CSA and vested in AUPE.; At the time of its establishment, AUPE had over 24,000 members in 76 branches. Collectively, the members own the Union. AUPE members are employed in occupations ranging from trades and maintenance staff to clerical, nursing, teaching and technical work. Many members are employed by departments, agencies or boards of the provincial government while others work for municipal or private sector employers. Besides headquarters in Solidarity Place in Edmonton, AUPE maintains regional offices throughout the province. All of their offices are staffed by union representatives and support staff.; The primary functions and activities of AUPE are: to develop the education, training, skill and efficiency of its members; to promote and safeguard harmony between members of AUPE and government, or any board or agency of the government; to unite the members for their mutual improvement, socially, mentally and physically and for their protection and common and individual welfare; to bring about united action and to act on any matter or issue of common interest to the members, and; to enter into and attempt to conclude satisfactorily agreements between AUPE, or a delgated branch of the union and the government or any board or agency of the government.; The affairs of AUPE are managed by a committee known as the Provincial Executive, consisting of the number of members ordained by the by-laws. This executive oversees the activities of the following committees: Members' Benefits Committee; Legislative Committee; Membership Services Committee; Finance Committee; Committee on Political Action; Occupational Health and Safety Committee; Anti-Privatization Committee; Women's Committee; and Pension Committee. Aupe is also an active participant in the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) with its president acting as a vice-president on the NUPGE National Executive Board. | | CUSTODIAL HISTORY: | The majority of the records of the Civil Service Association were donated in 1977 when the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees officially became the organizations' successor body.
