25,000 Manitoba healthcare support workers may strike on Oct 8 if no acceptable contract is offered.
Approximately 25,000 healthcare support workers in Manitoba may strike on October 8 unless the provincial government offers an acceptable contract. The unions, CUPE and MGEU, demand higher wages to tackle recruitment and retention issues amid staffing shortages affecting patient care. A recent proposal was rejected, and while negotiations continue, the unions emphasize that a strike is a last resort if a fair agreement isn't reached.
