On Nov 29, 2022, a revised collective agreement between the University of Manitoba and Unifor was ratified by the Unifor membership. The Unifor collective agreement expired on March 30, 2022. The new agreement is 2 years in length.

Unifor represents approximately 335 active caretakers, power engineers, tradespersons and dining services employees.

We value their contributions toward making our campuses wonderful places to be,” says Michael Benarroch, President and Vice-Chancellor. “Thank you to both teams for their work towards this agreement.”

The collective agreement’s salary adjustments include a 1.75% increase effective April 1, 2022, and a 2% increase effective March 25, 2023.
