Join us at MAHCP`s first virtual general meeting on the evening of Thursday, October 29, 2020. CUPE has the strongest collective agreements for community support and facility workers. Bill 29, Article 10: web2.gov.mb.ca/bills/41-2/b029e.php made it clear that the collective agreement of the winning union, which covers the largest number of workers, would be the agreement on which the negotiations would be based. This is absolutely not allowed and constitutes a serious violation of our collective agreement. If you find that MNU, MAHCP or people outside the field are people doing jobs in our CUPE area, please report it. If you don`t know if this is one of our positions, please report it, as we have the option to register it. However, some may think that it is not important, if the office work is done by a manager, if there are other closures or slowdowns, we do not want our members not to have their job because a manager or others have done it. STATMENT: Another Union will tell you that the winning collective agreement does not matter, because we will start from scratch, because the government really wants us to be under a single contract. Today, November 9, 2020, MAHCP President Bob Moroz again called on the Manitoba government to take immediate action to strengthen the support, staff and protection of allied health professionals who are endangering themselves and their families to serve Manitoba. FALSE – that`s not true. There is not a single Union that allows the government to simply abolish what has been negotiated in the past. It`s like starting to negotiate a first contract.

That`s not going to happen. This is the third time that rural health authorities have held representation votes (2000 and again in 2012) and each time there was a collective agreement that was used to negotiate. STATEMENT: „We will only negotiate in the articles of the other agreements.“ Important note: all members have the right to participate in the meeting. However, to vote, you need a signed membership card. If you`re not sure you have a file or need it, please contact: info@mahcp.ca or call 1.800.315.3331 Court Challenge of Bill 29 – Public Services Sustainability Act: Today, unions and the government have met in court to meet this challenge. This legal challenge does not require any salary increase or improvement of our collective agreement. What we are asking for is that we be able to make these improvements, as we do. This bill has removed that right, which goes against the Canadian Bill of Rights. Although about two-thirds of the members of the MAHCP Central Table voted in favour of ratifying the interim agreement, five bargaining units rejected the proposed transaction. Since the negotiations are based on consensus, nothing can be added to an agreement or withdrawn from the agreement without the agreement of both parties (note – CUPE did not accept the concessions mentioned above, so the employer withdrew them.

The employer could not simply include them in the agreement without CUPE`s agreement.) So if a union thinks it can find something in an agreement, they are wrong themselves.
