Union representing civil workers across Manitoba says strike vote possible – Winnipeg | 24CA News
The union representing civil servants throughout Manitoba might vote on a strike after stalled negotiations on the problem of wages.
The Manitoba Government and General Employees Union (MGEU) says the provincial authorities supplied a two-per cent annual wage improve for 4 years. The union represents 11,000 civil employees.
Responding to the authorities’s supply, MGEU’s bargaining committee stated it wasn’t sufficient to maintain up with inflation.
This comes after workers with Manitoba Public Insurance walked out of their jobs on Aug. 28, following their very own labour and contract dispute. Manitoba’s Progressive Conservative authorities had lately reached an settlement to finish a strike by liquor and lottery employees.
The ongoing labour troubles come on the heels of a provincial election set for Oct. 3.
