WINNIPEG, TREATY 1 – CUPE Local 3873 is pleased to announce that library technicians in the River East Transcona School Division have ratified a new five-year collective agreement.
Over the life of the agreement, wages will increase by well over 30 percent, representing one of the strongest settlements in the education support sector.
WINNIPEG, TREATY 1 – CUPE Manitoba is disappointed in Manitoba government’s latest education funding announcement. The funding falls short of what Manitoba schools need and leaves many school divisions facing significant financial deficits as they head into a critical bargaining year.
“CUPE Manitoba appreciates the government’s commitment to public education, but this announcement fails to meet the moment,” said Gina McKay, President of CUPE Manitoba.

CUPE Manitoba is proud to recognize the week of September 22 - 26, 2025, as School Support Staff Recognition Week in Manitoba. This important week acknowledges the great work of School Support Staff to our education system.
During this important week we will be celebrating the important contributions of School Support Staff in keeping our schools clean, getting children and youth to school safely and on time, keeping our schools running, shelves stocked with books, and helping our children and youth learn, grow and succeed.
Today the Manitoba Government announced the funding increases school divisions should expect for the coming year. While the funding increases provide stable, predictable support for school divisions, CUPE will continue to advocate for individual school divisions to ensure adequate supports for students and staff.
“CUPE believes building supports for students and education support staff should be the top priority for school divisions in the coming year,” said Gina McKay, President of CUPE Manitoba.

Winnipeg, Treaty 1 – Manitoba’s largest union is applauding the NDP government’s first budget, which should help address chronic understaffing in healthcare, childcare, municipal services, and education.
“Hiring 600 health care aides will help fill the staffing holes created by the previous government”, said Gina McKay, President of CUPE Manitoba. “We hear every day from health care support staff across Manitoba who are calling for backup, and now the help is coming”.
