Workforce Relations

Collective agreements set the terms and conditions of employment for a group of employees represented by a union.


How Employee & Labour Relations Assists

The Employee & Labour Relations Branch is responsible for negotiating and administering a variety of collective agreements on behalf of the Manitoba government and Manitoba government departments and provides assistance in interpreting how provisions of the agreement are applied to ensure employees receive the rights and benefits that were bargained.
