MGEU/NUPGE members to vote on new contract in January 2013.
Winnipeg (11 Dec. 2012) - After meeting with a conciliation officer on December 6, the Manitoba Government and General Employees' Union (MGEU/NUPGE) and Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) have jointly agreed to a revised contract offer laid out in the Conciliator’s Report. The report outlines five additions to the original offer, to which both parties have agreed.
The MGEU/NUPGE bargaining committee representing all MPI members is recommending the new offer for ratification. Voting will be held throughout the province, January 8 - 31, 2013. The bargaining committee is now preparing a ratification package (which includes details on the offer and a voting schedule) and will send the package to members before January 8.
MPI members are asked to please contact the MGEU Resource Centre if they have a question or read the five new additions to the final MPI offer (pdf) that were negotiated.
