Nelson House personal care home workers end strike with 2-year deal

The strike has ended at Nisichawayasihk Personal Care Home in Nelson House, Man.

On Nov. 28 about 30 Manitoba Government Employees Union (MGEU) workers walked off the job because they said they were not paid the same as other personal care home workers in Manitoba.

They had been pushing for better wages for six years, the union said. MGEU president Michelle Gawronsky said workers were paid 27 per cent, or $4 per hour, less than other employees with the same level of training.
