Workers at Manitoba’s auto insurance Crown corporation went on strike Monday, as Premier Heather Stefanson criticized union leaders for rejecting a wage offer.
Officials at the corporation said they have offered wage increases of two per cent each year for four years, plus other enhancements that total up to 17 per cent in increases. “They’re demanding increases double the size of health-care workers. That’s where I draw the line,” Stefanson said in a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.
Monday’s walkout followed the settlement on the weekend of a strike at Crown-owned Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries that had started July 19. That walkout prompted the closure of government-run liquor stores and disrupted supplies to private vendors.
