Unionized employees of Manitoba Public Insurance are voting on the latest contract offer made by the crown corporation.
The latest offer, which was tabled over the weekend, includes wage increases of 12.2 per cent over the four years of the deal, including three per cent for both last year and this year, as well as 2.9 per cent in 2024 and 3.3 per cent in 2025.
According to the Manitoba Government and General Employees Union, the offer also includes a one-time signing bonus of $1,800 per full-time employee and an additional 3.5 per cent increase for about 60 per cent of the unionized workers from a new maximum increment step for each pay grade.
Although still not happy with the new offer, MGEU President Kyle Ross said they would put it up for a vote by the membership.
Voting takes place until 6 pm Monday, with results to be announced Monday night.
If approved, it would end a strike that began on August 28.
