Fairness for Everyone
In between MFL Conventions, the executive council is responsible for the overall operations, decision-making, planning, formulation of policy and the general development of the Manitoba Federation of Labour.
A strong MFL is more important now than ever before. Premier Brian Pallister has already passed a law that makes it more difficult to join a union; undermined the collective bargaining process; and made cuts to public services – like healthcare and education – and laid-off workers. All this despite promising to protect public services and the people who provide them. We are fighting back and you can too. Learn more about why unions matter and get involved in your union or unionize your workplace.
