A tentative deal has been reached to avert a strike at Southeast Child and Family Services.
“We are glad to see progress, and members will now vote on the offer and have the final say,” Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union president Kyle Ross said of negotiations that continued over the weekend and into Monday.
The MGEU said workers at two other agencies — Métis Child, Family and Community Services and Michif Child and Family Services — were still set to go on strike at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. Southeast workers would also have gone on strike at that time if a deal had not been reached.
The MGEU previously said 170 Southeast workers have been without a contract since March 31, 2022, and that 220 and 110 workers at the Métis and Michif agencies have been without contracts since Jan. 31, 2023.
