Utility Operators with the City of Winkler have voted to join CUPE following a successful card-signing campaign under Manitoba Government’s card check legislation.
CUPE already represents a wide range of municipal workers across Southern Manitoba, including workers at the City of Morden.
“We want to welcome these new members to CUPE,” said Gina McKay, president of CUPE Manitoba. “I know we are stronger together as workers and CUPE members, and look forward to working together to improve working conditions for all workers in Manitoba.”
With these new members, CUPE continues to strengthen its presence in the municipal sector, representing more than 5,000 municipal workers across the province.
“We welcome these workers into our municipal sector,” said Lee McLeod, Manitoba Regional Director for CUPE. “Together we can achieve better wages and fairer working conditions.”
