Questions regarding AESES-UM members’ pay rates and retroactive pay
Thursday, May 19th, 2022
The new rates for 2022-2023 are now in effect, as you may have seen on your upcoming pay stub for Friday, May 20, 2022. Now that these new rates are in effect, the University of Manitoba can begin calculating the retroactive pay going backwards from the date the new rates came into effect.
AESES cannot confirm when the retroactive pay (and parking fee reimbursement, if applicable) will be coming. It could arrive within the next couple of pay periods, depending on how long it takes the University to make the calculations for members. If you have a specific question or want more information, please contact the AESES Business Office.

AESES Celebrates International Women’s Day
Tuesday, March 8th, 2022
Today, March 8, the world is celebrating International Women’s Day. This day showcases women’s contributions and highlights the progress toward gender equality.
The international theme for 2022 is “Break The Bias.” Imagine a gender-equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality.
AESES celebrates and supports the contributions of women in our membership, the workforce and ongoing labour movements. They are standing up for improved working conditions, increased gender equality, and making their voices heard!
Separately we are strong, and together we are stronger. Let us celebrate today the efforts of the past, current and future generations of women and the push for equal rights for everyone.
Message of Support for Ukraine
Friday, February 25th, 2022
As Manitobans, we watch from across the globe as the situation unfolds in Ukraine. Our thoughts are with members of the Ukrainian community locally and abroad, and we stand with them in support.
AESES has always stood for democracy and fair treatment of workers and their families. The unprovoked nature of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is entirely brutal and unjustified, and millions of workers and their families will have their lives forever changed.
Unions are historically anti-war, and war is never the answer. Lives are lost, and loved ones will never come back home. AESES condemns the acts of violence that Russia is perpetrating against the people of Ukraine.
AESES sympathizes with our members who have family in Ukraine and are anxious about their wellbeing. If you need support, please reach out to a professional or contact the AESES Business Office to learn about the options you might have with your employer.
In solidarity and peace,
Laurie R. Morris
President
AESES
