Update – December 4, 2023
CUPE has again met with the conciliator regarding bargaining. Unfortunately, MBLL is still waiting to meet with the government for their mandate. A December 11th date has been set for the next meeting.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process and will continue to keep you updated on any developments as they unfold. If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Thank you for your commitment and resilience in these challenging times. Together, we will work towards a positive outcome for all CUPE members at MBLL.
In solidarity,
CUPE Executives

Update – October 20, 2023
Dear CUPE members,
CUPE has received official notice from MBLL that the previously scheduled bargaining dates at the end of October will be postponed. The reason for this delay is that the company’s senior leadership is in the process of arranging a meeting with the new Manitoba NDP government to receive its fresh mandate and direction for MBLL. Given the significance of this meeting, it may take a few weeks to coordinate all the necessary details.
In light of these circumstances, we have rescheduled the next bargaining dates to be on December 4th, 5th, and 11th. While we understand that this delay may be frustrating, we want to emphasize that CUPE fully supports the engagement between the new NDP government and MBLL’s management.
We are pleased that a government that values and uplifts workers now leads Manitoba, and we are hopeful that this new government will encourage MBLL’s management to resolve the ongoing uncertainty our members have been facing. Our objective remains clear: to secure a fair and reasonable contract that ensures the well-being of our dedicated members.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process and will continue to keep you updated on any developments as they unfold. If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Thank you for your commitment and resilience in these challenging times. Together, we will work towards a positive outcome for all CUPE members at MBLL.
In solidarity,
CUPE Executives

Update – January 30th, 2023
After many failed attempts to contact our national representative, we have found out that Elizabeth is no longer working with CUPE.
We have requested a new CUPE rep. be assigned to us as soon as possible as we are in the midst of our negotiations and executive elections.
For the time being everything is on hold until we get a new permanent CUPE representative assigned to us.
We are still waiting for MBLL to reply to our proposals. There have been no communications thus far from management on the contract negotiations.

Negotiation is Continuing…
CUPE local 5021 is still in negotiations with the employer. We have had some challenges; we have also recommended some options to the employer. We remain confident that MBLL will be amiable to at least some of the options we’ve recommended to them.
We are waiting for response from the employer on our recommended options. We have been informed that it may take some time as there are other negotiations going on with other unions in the company.
We are unable to share any details at this time, due to contract not been signed. We remain steadfast in getting our local an optimum CA.

Update – April 04, 2022
CUPE 5021 is currently in negotiations with your Employer, as we attempt to achieve a fair and freely negotiated collective agreement. This round has proven to be very challenging, but we remain optimistic about reaching an agreement at the table.
As you may be aware, the current cost of living has skyrocketed and shows no sign of returning to normal levels any time soon. With this in mind, we feel that the membership deserves a fair wage increase to help offset the cost of living, and to recognize your important work. We will continue to fight for fair wages and not accept imposed wage mandates.
While we cannot provide too much detail with respect to the ongoing negotiations, we will endeavour to keep you updated and we ask for your support and solidarity as we work hard to negotiate the best possible collective agreement for you.
We would ask that you provide your personal contact information, including your personal email (if you have not already done so), so we can have direct contact with members moving forward through this process.
