Today, the Pallister government unveiled plans to make sweeping changes that affect CUPE members.
WAGES FREEZES AND CAPS
The Canadian Union of Public Employees Manitoba is disappointed to see the government introduce heavy-handed legislation that would bypass the bargaining table and impose four years of wage freezes and caps on public sector workers.
Former Winnipeg City Councillor Harvey Smith passed away at Victoria Hospital on Sunday, March 12, 2017, after a short illness. Smith had been living in care since falling in his home last summer. He was 80 years of age.
Smith served on City Council representing Sargent Park Ward between 1980 and 1986, and representing the Daniel McIntyre Ward from 1998 until 2014.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees Manitoba is frustrated with today’s Conservative Party update on MLAs’ wages, and calls on Premier Pallister to get back to protecting public services.
“Today, Brian Pallister has once again disappointed us,” said Kelly Moist, President of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Manitoba. “The Premier and his cabinet took 20% salary increases on their first day in office, then froze minimum wage.
