Manitoba Health Care Workers Avoid Strike with Last-Minute Deal

A tentative agreement was reached early Tuesday, preventing a strike by 25,000 health-care support workers in Manitoba.

Negotiators reached a tentative deal 90 minutes before the scheduled strike of 25,000 health-care support workers.
The agreement addresses key issues such as wages and working conditions, with unions recommending acceptance.
Workers involved include health-care aides, laundry workers, and support staff across Manitoba.
A strike would have impacted services in Winnipeg, Brandon, Steinbach, Dauphin, and Portage la Prairie.
Union members will return to work and participate in online information sessions before voting on the agreement.
