28 months is an unreasonable amount of time to be without a contract. Pallister needs to butt out the collective bargaining procedure. It is time to let the Crown corporation work with IBEW 2034 to settle a fair deal.
Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench Justice McKelvey ruled that the Pallister government’s Public Services Sustainability Act and its actions to impede collective bargaining in the province are a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and workers’ right to collective bargaining. The ruling confirms that the Public Services Sustainability Act is unconstitutional. So stop trying to sidestep the law.
On behalf of the executive board of ATU 1505,
In solodarity of IBEW 2034
