Before Manitoba's health care strike deadline, a tentative agreement was struck
Gina McKay, president of CUPE Manitoba, stated that the agreement addresses key issues such as wages and working conditions.
A tentative agreement has been reached to prevent a strike by 25,000 health care support workers in Manitoba.
The workers, who include health-care aides, laundry workers, and support staff in hospitals and personal care homes, had been preparing to strike on Tuesday morning while continuing to provide essential services.
However, overnight negotiations between the unions and the provincial government resulted in a deal.
Gina McKay, president of CUPE Manitoba, stated that the agreement addresses key issues such as wages and working conditions.
Both unions are recommending that their members accept the deal, though the specific details will not be revealed until workers vote on it in the coming days.
The potential strike would have impacted services in various parts of the province, including Winnipeg, Brandon, Steinbach, Dauphin, and Portage la Prairie.
