Bargaining Updates

Local 306 members working in education have been waiting to have their expired collective agreements renegotiated because of Manitoba’s Public Services Sustainability Act. Several important things are in the works that will impact our ability to get to the bargaining tables soon:

  Spring 2020 – The Public Services Sustainability Act was overturned in the Manitoba Provincial Court. The province says it will appeal.

  Spring 2020 – Louis Riel teachers were awarded a two-year settlement by an arbitrator with wage increases of 1.6% and 1.4%.

  January 2021 – Pembina Trails teachers had their arbitration hearings. Results are pending and may set a pattern for education-sector bargaining.

  Pending – Winnipeg School Division bus drivers will soon have arbitration by the Manitoba Labour Board, after going on strike during the fall/winter of 2020.
