A MESSAGE
FROM THE
PRESIDENT
You’ve got in your hands the 2008 MGEU
Annual Report and 2009 Desk Calendar.
“When we’ve gone about strengthening
the foundation of our union in the
last year, we’ve had to think about
it in a variety of ways. But really, it
boils down to three things:
1. We’ve made sure our bricks and
mortar are in place to meet our
member’s needs, wherever they live;
2. We’ve stayed on top of new
technology and made sure we’re
seizing every opportunity to help our
members connect and communicate;
3. But most importantly, we’ve
invested in our human potential.
After all, that’s what is going to make
or break an organization like ours:
our ability to harness the energy of
good people.”
From President Peter Olfert’s speech to Convention, October 24, 2008
This publication is our chance to catch you up with
what your union has been up to over the last year:
where your dues were spent; some of our key fights
and challenges; the progress we’ve made and plans
for the future.
In October, we had one of the most dynamic and
well-attended Conventions in our union’s history. In
this report, we’ve summarized for you much of what
delegates heard over two days in downtown Winnipeg.
You’ll read about the new offices we’ve opened in
three Manitoba communities; about what’s gone on
at bargaining tables throughout our province; about
the ways your union is building a union that is strong
enough and forward-thinking enough to build better
workplaces for all members, and a better world for
our families.
I encourage you to take a few minutes and keep
yourself informed. During these challenging
economic times, it’s more important than ever that
each and every one of us has a handle on both our
collective challenges and opportunities. Today, you
have every reason to feel proud of your union, to feel
thankful for the hard work of nearly two thousand
activists who volunteer their time and their talents
day in and day out. But to keep moving forward, to
maintain and create the kind of workplaces we want,
all of us must remain informed, engaged,
and committed to making it happen.
Wishing you and your family all the best in 2009.
Peter Olfert
MGEU President

Negotiating and Administering Collective Agreements
BARGAINING ROUND-UP 2007/ 08
“Bargaining the best possible contract for each and every one of our
members is job one for us. That’s why we’ve expanded our staff rep
team in the last couple of years…”
-Peter Olfert, Convention 2008
As always, negotiations were job one for the
MGEU in 2007/08, with about 25 contracts ratified
throughout the year. The following is a brief
summary of our efforts at the bargaining table.
Nurses, Social Services,
Corrections Make Civil Service Gains
• The government finally recognized that “a nurse
is a nurse is a nurse” in the fall of ‘08 and agreed
to implement wages and hours of work for civil
service nurses that are consistent with those of
other Manitoba nurses. In the coming year, we will
continue the fight on behalf of those nurses working
for Crowns and the WRHA, whom the government
has yet to recognize with equal pay for equal work.
• After voting to take their negotiations to arbitration,
the Corrections Component helped achieve a
significant win for all civil service members. In the
award, Arbitrator Werrier ruled that the MGEU has
the right to negotiate and arbitrate provisions of the
Civil Service Superannuation Plan, giving members
more control over their own pension plan.
• With funds set aside during the last round of
negotiations, the union has successfully negotiated
pay scales for a new Social Services classification
series. As a result, social workers, economic security
counselors, and others were slotted in the new
series, with the vast majority receiving significant
wage increases.
Home Care Workers
and Proctors on Way to
Achieving FTE Positions
For many years, home care workers
and proctors have not had the same
guarantee of hours that other
workers have. This past year, after
many rounds of negotiations,
the union finally achieved a
Memorandum of Agreement
in the Nor-Man Region to
convert Northern home care workers and proctors into
full-time and part-time positions.
The union and the Winnipeg Regional Health
Authority have adapted this Memorandum and
launched a pilot program in the Fort Garry area,
bringing full-time equivalent positions to over 150
home care workers. It’s anticipated that this pilot will
be successful and form the basis of a roll-out of FTEs
throughout Winnipeg.
Members at Smaller, Not-For-Profit
Agencies Fight for Fairness
The union fought hard for many community social
service agencies, such as the St. Amant Community
Residential program and Project Neecheewam, who
receive the bulk of their funding through government,
but there remains much work to be done. The
Province often deals with these organizations using
a cookie cutter approach – i.e. they provide tiny
operating increases to be used for everything from
operations to benefits – which makes negotiating
decent wages and benefits for our members extremely
difficult. In the coming months, the MGEU will be
pushing hard to make sure the Province adequately
recognizes the vital work performed every day
by members at these agencies.
HCSS still at table,
MPI to vote on offer
At date of printing, more than four thousand
Health Care Support Services members remain in
negotiations, while nearly 1,500 Manitoba Public
Insurance members are set to vote on a final offer
recently tabled by the employer.

EDUCATION YEAR-IN-REVIEW
“For an organization like ours – member-based, democratic,
diverse – our activist network is our lifeblood.”
-Peter Olfert, Convention 2008
Over the last couple of years, over 1,500
activists attended an MGEU course.
Highlights of 2007/ 08 Membership
Education Program
• Dozens of courses for local union activists covered
everything from running effective local meetings to
collective bargaining, while updated courses such
as Critical Thinking were introduced.
• Workshops for workplace safety and health
representatives ensured these reps were up on
the latest in legislation, ergonomics, workers
compensation, and violence at work.
• Introduced a newly expanded Member Education
Calendar / Program Guide.
• In an effort to reach out to new activists, Education
Committee members traveled province-wide in
spring 2008 to deliver a “We are the MGEU” course
for members interested in learning more about
getting involved in their union.
In 2008, MGEU members and their children received a
total of more than $10,000 in scholarships
to further their learning opportunities.

Serving Members and Defending their Interest
PUBLIC CAMPAIGNS GOT MESSAGE OUT,
KEPT PRESSURE ON
“Given our size and breadth, fostering connections
must be a key part of who we are and what we do.”
-Peter Olfert, Convention 2008
Last year, the MGEU invested in several broadreaching public initiatives to stand up for members
and make sure the employer could not turn a blind
eye to their concerns.
Safety Campaigns Remind Drivers
to Be Cautious
Starting in November of 2007, TV sponsorship
ads reminded motorists to be careful when
they encountered snow plough operators, while
throughout the summer of 2008, three different radio
ads appealed to drivers to slow down while passing
construction workers on Manitoba highways.
Thousands of Postcards Call
for Fair Mileage Reimbursement
MGEU Helps Give Voice To Hundreds
Of Child And Family Services Workers
In Spring 2008, Child and Family Services workers
were facing a barrage of negative media and
workplace issues. In response, the union garnered
headlines in print and on TV which told of how a
disturbing number of social workers are assaulted
on the job, and how recruitment and retention issues
have left the system in crisis. Two public service
announcements also told the story of how social
workers have a lasting and positive impact on
the families they serve.
In a tremendous showing
of solidarity this past
fall, more than 12,000
members returned
postcards to send a clear
message to government:
employees who must
drive their car for work
should not have to
subsidize their employer.
While discussions with
government continue,
the united front of the
membership remains
imperative on the road
to fairness.
contact 2008
GOOD OLD-FASHIONED SERVICE,
NEW TECHNOLOGIES CONTINUE
TO CONNECT MEMBERSHIP
Resource Centre Goes Ivy League
The MGEU’s Resource Centre continued to be a
tremendous support to members looking for timely
information about topics ranging from contract
negotiations to discount fitness passes. The model for
the Centre has now been replicated across Canada,
and starting this fall, will be taught as a labour
management case study at Harvard University.
Phone Blasts Rally the Troops
When planning an important rally or event, the union
has continued to make good use of phone blasts.
While the MGEU remains cautious about bombarding
people with recorded messages at home, never before
have we had such a quick and cost-effective way to get
a message to our members.
Tailored Updates Get
Rave Reviews, Go Electronic
In 2007/ 08, the MGEU sent out more than twenty
different “Updates” to twenty different groups. The
Community Support Update, for instance, focused on
issues related to home care, while MPI focused on MPI
bargaining and news. Member feedback has been very
positive, with more and more members requesting to
receive an electronic version via e-mail only.
annual
report
WORKPLACE JUSTICE:
GRIEVANCES AND ARBITRATION
In 2008, a total of 443 grievances were filed (as of July
31st), dealing with disciplinary matters, terminations,
issues of duty to accommodate, pay issues, and
reclassifications. More than 50 of these grievances
went to arbitration, but most were settled before
a hearing took place.
In May, the union successfully argued on behalf of
tenant services coordinators at Manitoba Housing,
who had been improperly classified. While a final
dollar amount has yet to be determined for this
ruling, it will result in excess of $100,000 in retroactive
compensation for these members.
In an interest arbitration, Civil Service correctional
officers were awarded a special adjustment of 6% in
wages. Also of significance in this award is that the
Arbitrator ruled that the Union could negotiate and/
or send to interest arbitration
issues concerning
pension, which
the government
had claimed
was beyond
the arbitrator’s
jurisdiction.
BUSY YEAR FOR MGEU ABORIGINAL LIAISON
MGEU is the only union in Manitoba with a full-time
staff person to help meet the needs of our Aboriginal
members. In 2007/ 08, MGEU Aboriginal Liaison
Cathy Woods:
• Partnered with the Manitoba Aboriginal Human
Resource Strategists to develop a competency chart
of required skills for all Aboriginal Human Resource
professionals.
• Met regularly with Aboriginal members to educate
them about the union and help give them a voice
in the workplace, with a focus on the communities
of Sandy Bay Ojibway First Nation and the newlyorganized Dakota Oyate Personal Care Home in
Sioux Valley First Nation;
• Played an active role in the Westman IANE Chapter,
participating in career fairs and community events;
• Worked with the Workforce Connex Committee to
increase Aboriginal representation in the workforce
by implementing 83 commitments established by
Aboriginal Human Resource specialists, governments
and employer groups;
In October, the MGEU was also a lead sponsor of
the Northern Aboriginal Festival, an event which
commends Northern Aboriginal people for their
achievements and features a Pow-Wow exhibition
and a career fair.
• Along with new staff rep for The Pas, Ernest
Muswagon, presented at seminars hosted by the
Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and Safe Workers of
Tomorrow.

Building union strength, influence and impact
A YEAR OF GROWTH:
NEW MEMBERS, NEW OFFICES
MGEU Cuts Red Ribbon In
Three Manitoba Communities
Over A Thousand New
Members Join MGEU
Today, the MGEU is Manitoba’s largest union,
and it’s only truly multi-regional one.
• Last winter, an intermingling vote was held
in the Parkland RHA which resulted in over 700
Manitobans joining our union. The MGEU now
gives voice to the concerns of thousands of health
care support service workers.
To ensure that members have a convenient and
welcoming presence in their own communities,
somewhere people can go to meet, share a cup of coffee
and learn about their union in a place that makes them
proud, the MGEU built three new regional offices
in Portage, Brandon, and Dauphin.
“When we organize new members we offer them our
resources and expertise and a chance to improve their
working lives. We gain new strength and new ideas.”
Peter Olfert, Convention 2008
• This fall, the Professional Paramedics Association
of Winnipeg voted to amalgamate with the MGEU.
As a result, the union now represents almost 1,000
EMS workers throughout the province.
• Other new Locals included the Centre de Santé
Saint-Boniface, Centre Soleil Inc, Nisichawayasihk
Personal Care Home, Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation
Family and Community Wellness Centre, Inc., River
Park Gardens Personal Care Home, and Westman
Lab Support Unit.

WITH STRENGTH COMES RESPONSIBILITY:
BROADENING OUR OUTLOOK AND IMPACT
MGEU, Members Give Back to Home
Communities
Last year, with the support of MGEU, members raised
thousands of dollars to invest in building better
communities. From large fundraising drives like United
Way to smaller grassroots agencies like the Westman
Women’s Shelter, dozens of not-for-profit community
agencies benefited from the caring commitment
of MGEU members.
“Sometimes, we build a better
world right here at home.
But through our National
Union, the world starts to
seem a little smaller, and
you and I have a hand in
reaching around the globe.”
-Peter Olfert, Convention 2008
Union Partners to Wield Strength
of the Labour Movement
• With our national counterparts, MGEU members
pooled contributions to have a global impact last
year – they helped Filipino women get the training
they need for full employment, and Indonesian
farmers who lost everything in the 2004 Tsunami
reclaim their livelihoods.
• In 2008, NUPGE and several other Canadian
unions joined with the MGEU to ensure the story
of labour history and labour rights is not forgotten
by contributing $170,000 over five years to the
Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Canadian Museum for Human Rights
• Through our National Union (NUPGE), the MGEU
took a stand last year on issues that affect not just
Manitobans, but all Canadians. In 2007/08, NUPGE
lobbied hard for improvements to some of the most
underfunded areas of public services, including
mental health, long term care, and communitybased social services.

MGEU CONVENTION HIGHLIGHTS
“You’re building a union that has
the resources and expertise to go to
bat for its membership. To hire the
staff we need to tackle increasingly
complex workplace issues. To go all
the way to the courts if necessary. To
go public when we need to. To take
employers on and let them know we
are a force to be reckoned with.”
Peter Olfert, Convention 2008
• With about 6,000 MGEU members now under thirty,
the Youth Ad-Hoc Committee showed delegates that
a new generation of social activists and committed
trade unionists were ready to step up to the plate.
• The Constitution Committee wrapped up two years
of intense work with a plain language update of the
MGEU’s Constitution.
• Keynote speaker Stephen Lewis passionately shared
his message of how poverty and AIDS in Africa is
something each and every one of us must know
about and care about. The MGEU presented him
with a cheque for $10,000 to the Stephen Lewis
Foundation, which invests in grassroots initiatives
in African communities.

we can do, you can say no. You’re wrong. You can tell
them about the difference you’re making in your job,
helping Manitobans, and providing those valuable
public services.”
