Fairness for Everyone
The Manitoba Federation of Labour is speaking out on the issues that matter to our affiliate unions, and the members and families that belong to those unions.
With your help and input, we are talking formally and informally to key decision-makers across our province. We invite you to download and read the reports and briefs we have published and presented.

In 2010, the MFL released this report in support of its lobby campaign for provincial regulations on workplace harassment, bullying and violence. The report provides an overview of similar regulations across Canada and presents evidence why such regulations are needed in Manitoba. This campaign was instrumental in the eventual implementation of harassment/bullying regulations in February 2011 and of violence regulations in August 2011.

This paper was adopted as the MFL official policy on post secondary education tuition and funding in April, 2009.
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.
