CUPE Manitoba president Gina McKay is presenting the final installment of wildfire relief funds pledged earlier this summer by the CUPE National Executive Board to Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Inc., Policy Analyst Lucas Edmond.
“As of mid-September 2025, while many evacuees have returned home, we know there are still evacuees waiting to return home; the work is not done.
Manitoba’s wildfires have impacted the lives of thousands across the province. The CUPE National Executive Board approved $50,000 to help relief efforts for Manitoba families affected by the forest fires and subsequent relocations.
While the province of Manitoba has lifted the provincial state of emergency, many Manitobans continue to rely on support from emergency relief organizations.
Today CUPE 998 representing approximately 870 workers at Manitoba Hydro has scheduled a strike vote with members for Friday, May 30, 2025. The strike vote follows months of bargaining where Manitoba Hydro has failed to present an offer consistent with what it has reached with other bargaining units within Manitoba Hydro.
“We know Manitoba Hydro has settled with other workers within Hydro with fair collective agreements,” said Michelle Bergen, President of CUPE 998.
