Statement from Gina McKay, President of CUPE Manitoba
CUPE Manitoba stands with Dynacare workers represented by MAHCP.
Dynacare, a multimillion-dollar for-profit company is refusing to pay front-line workers a fair wage. This is unacceptable.
Dynacare’s inability to prioritize the livelihoods of their own staff in Manitoba once again shows the failings of private companies contracted to do what should be public work.

WINNIPEG, TREATY 1 – The city’s largest union questions mayoral candidate Kevin Klein’s suitability to lead in divisive times.
“At a time when CUPE has been advocating to council to favour Canadian workers, the last thing Winnipeg needs is a mayor who’ll bend a knee to American interests,” said Patrick Troughton, President of CUPE Local 500.
Winnipeg, Treaty 1 –
The City’s largest union is applauding Mayor Gillingham’s recent campaign commitment to ensure municipal contracts are awarded locally, rather than to US-based or global corporations.
“Our union has been running a major campaign across social media and streaming platforms raising awareness about the impact of awarding major contracts to companies that don’t contribute to our local economy,” says Patrick Troughton, acting President of CUPE Local 500.
WINNIPEG, TREATY 1 – The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Manitoba is calling on the provincial government to pass proposed amendments to The Residential Tenancies Act (Bill 13) and immediately implement updates to The Residential Rent Regulations.

WINNIPEG, TREATY 1 –
Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham’s support for building social workers directly into the 911 emergency system is a crucial step in addressing the growing mental health crisis, says CUPE Local 500, representing Winnipeg’s municipal workers.
“Winnipeggers struggling through a mental health crisis in our city need a system that supports them right from the first call,” says Gina McKay, President of CUPE Manitoba.
WINNIPEG, TREATY 1 – It is with immense sadness that CUPE informs the community of the passing of Gord Delbridge, President of CUPE Local 500. Gord passed away last night, surrounded by his loved ones.
