Unionized workers at Dauphin's Michif Child and Family Services are back at work today after their union announced an agreement to resolve outstanding contract issues through arbitration.

Michif CFS workers in Dauphin, Brandon, and The Pas had been on strike since March 25th, along with Metis Chid, Family, and Community Services workers in Winnipeg.

They have been without a contract since January 31st, 2023.

Their union - The Manitoba Government and General Employees Union - announced late Monday night that it has reached an agreement with the agencies to resolve outstanding contract negotiations through interest arbitration, effectively ending the strike by the roughly 330 workers.

They were seeking a new agreement that matched the four-year, 14 per cent wage increase members represented by the MGEU in other civil services got last year.
