Media Announcement: Partnership to Defend Public Services
Thursday, July 6th, 2017
The Partnership to Defend Public Services filed a statement of claim today (July 4, 2017) in the Court of Queen’s Bench challenging the constitutionality of the Public Services Sustainability Act (PSSA). AESES was proud to stand among the union leaders at a media announcement held at the Union Centre. The news release that was issued in advance of Tuesday’s media announcement provides further information on the issue at hand.
We have also created a dedicated page on the AESES website to consolidate information relating to the legal challenge of the PSSA. Check back often for updates.
CCU Letter to Pallister Government: Regarding Bill 28
Thursday, June 15th, 2017
AESES is pleased to inform our members that the Confederation of Canadian Unions (CCU) recently wrote to Premier Brian Pallister to call upon the Manitoba government to respect the fundamental rights of workers and end its wrongheaded austerity agenda. This is in response to the passing of Bill 28: The Public Services Sustainability Act in the Manitoba Legislature.
To view the letter from the CCU, please visit their website at the following link:
As previously reported to our members, AESES has joined the Partnership to Defend Public Services which is coordinating to defend the rights of Manitoba public-sector employees. We will be sure to forward any formal communications that come from this group to our membership as they become available.
We would like to thank the CCU for their solidarity and support in this important fight.
Bill 28: The Public Services Sustainability Act
Thursday, June 8th, 2017
On Friday, June 2nd, a number of media outlets reported that Bill 28: The Public Services Sustainability Act had passed third reading in the Manitoba Legislature. This act imposes severe restrictions for public-sector workplaces insofar as wages and other monetary factors are concerned.
Although our AESES collective agreements are not set to expire until 2019, this new law will direct that our general salary increases for the following four years (2019 to 2023) are already set at 0%, 0%, 0.75% and 1.0% respectively.
The Pallister Government has made their intentions clear. Regardless of when the act is proclaimed, the impact of the government’s new law is already being felt at the bargaining table. Instead of negotiating at the bargaining table, the Pallister Government has chosen heavy-handed legislation to get their way.
Manitoba’s public-sector unions have come together to create a Partnership to Defend Public Services and will launch a legal challenge. AESES has joined this partnership and is actively supporting the legal challenge in order to defend the bargaining rights of our membership.
All communications going forward will be organized through the Partnership to Defend Public Services. As they become available, we will ensure they are forwarded on to our membership.
