The Contract or Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA, obligates the employer to be fair and reasonable where it affects employees’ jobs and future. It is a binding contract between the Union and the Employer which specifies the terms and conditions of employment.  The current Collective Agreement is in effect from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2024.

As the agreements are specific & can vary from each Local/Worksite it is important to review each contract if working in multiple facilities.

The CBA has information on your rights & responsibilities including information about Workload Staffing Reports, Nursing Advisory Committee, the Grievance Process, benefits & wages, income protection & Long Term Disability, monies for education, Health & Safety concerns and discrimination.

To download your copy of the contract contact www.manitobanurses.ca, follow the direction & click on Winnipeg Churchill Health Region Employers Organization.

As the contract can be difficult to interpret, the Interpretation Manual can also be found on the MNU website. However, feel free to contact the Worksite with your questions or concerns.
