AAPS New Member Information Registration
AAPS is your labour relations organization, and we here to support you through individual workplace issues, answer questions, provide resources, and negotiate your Collective Agreement, as well as other work-related rights and benefits.
AAPS is a separate organization from UBC, and our role to provide AAPS members with labour relations representation, education, and advice. (We are similar to a union in many, but not all, respects.) We also provide association-wide professional development and advocacy on issues relevant to members.
Please fill out the New Member Information Form and email us a copy of your offer letter. We keep the letter confidentially, and it helps to have the letter on file if there are any issues with your employment status or pay down the road.
There are three ways to learn more about AAPS and your Collective Agreement. You can register for one of the options below.
Option #1: Attend an In Person AAPS New Member Information Session
These presentations cover information about AAPS and what we do, key points of your Collective Agreement, and an overview of some of your negotiated benefits. The are opportunties to connect with other AAPS members, and there is plenty of time to ask questions. We hold these session several times throughout the year at different AAPS member sites.
After the session we will send you a link to a previously recorded session and the relevant links.

The session has participatory elements (breakout rooms and polls), and there is plenty of time to ask questions. We hold these sessions on a regular basis, and you can register at any time.
After the session we will send you a link to a previously recorded session and the relevant links.
