MGEU/NUPGE members negotiate wage and benefit improvements in new collective agreement.
Winnipeg (26 March 2013) – Members of the Manitoba Government and General Employees' Union (MGEU/NUPGE) who work for Macdonald Youth Services Northern/Alternative Parent Home Program have ratified a new three-year contract.
Following months at the bargaining table, they reached a tentative deal with the employer, which includes a new personal leave policy and mileage rate reimbursements in line with the Provincial government’s Master contract.
With the agreement now ratified, members will receive a signing bonus as well as 2.75 per cent wage increase in each of the final two years of the contract.
The new collective agreement will be in effect from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2014.
