The present day Local 95 is a product of changes that have resulted in a Local of 12 Chapters with close to 6,000 members that includes urban hospital centres, rural facilities and community sites. Our General Support Staff classifications cover a wide range of positions as diverse as pharmacy aides to dietary staff, trades to clerical, surgical processing to transcriptionists.

From its inception AUPE Local 55 only encompassed the Foothills Hospital with 2 chapters: Chapter 1 was GSS and Chapter 2 Auxiliary nursing.

In 2002 a merger with Local 40, Alberta Children's Hospital was mandated and in combining the two numbers Local 95 was created. Close to the same time the FMC Clerical requested their own chapter. The composition of Local 95 was now 4 chapters: Chapter 1: Dietary, Housekeeping, Surgical Processing, Pharmacy Aides, Central Warehouse, etc; Chapter 2: Distribution, Portering, OR Techs; Chapter 3: FMC Clerical and Chapter 4: the Alberta Children's Hospital.

In the spring of 2003 all LPN, NA and Nursing Aides were placed in one local and a large majority of our FMC Chapter 2 members were moved. Later that year, Bill 27 was put in effect as the result of a Labor Board decision and after the dust settled, Local 95 received members from several former CUPE urban sites such as the Peter Lougheed Centre (PLC) (Chapter 11) and the Rockyview General Hospital (RGH) (Chapter 10), rural sites in Claresholm (chapter 8), High River, Strathmore, Canmore, Oilfields & Black Diamond (Chapter 7) as well as a couple of smaller AUPE Locals in Didsbury (Chapter 12) Calgary Community sites (Chapter 6).

Protection Services (Chapter 13) city-wide joined our members in 2007.

May 2009 brought new members from the Calgary Chapter of the Alberta Cancer Board (Chapter 14) as well as the Colon Screening program from the University of Calgary.

As Alberta Health Services continues to make changes in its infrastructure, we will need the support of all members to cope with these changes.

Our Local today is stronger for the diversity, enthusiasm, ideas and different points of view that everyone has brought into the mix. Our goal of protecting members' rights is our driving force.
