Government of Manitoba to pay $19.3 Million for violating Charter rights of UMFA members in 2016 collective bargaining: bit.ly/3JNSqTq

After interfering in our bargaining and violating our charter rights in 2016, the Manitoba Government has been ordered to pay UofM Faculty Assoc. and its members $19.3 Million. umfa.ca/news/204-gover…

This is a bittersweet victory. Gov actions were harmful to UMFA members and UM students. Hopefully Heather Stefanson now recognizes the costs of continued interference and will now respect the independence of Manitoba’s universities, and workers’ rights in collective bargaining.

Such tactics further harm administrative/academic relations within post-secondary institutions and do nothing to better the learning environment of students. Call out these toxic tactics!
