Reports have come down tonight that Healthcare support staff in 3 regions across the province have voted in favour of strike action.
The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, the Northern Health Region and Southern Health, all represented by CUPE, have had workers vote 97 percent in favour of a strike mandate.
The hope among these workers is that this strike mandate will help speed up new negotiations.
The union hopes for benefits and pension plans, wage increases, and better working conditions.
MGEU, the group that represents Prairie Mountain Health, says that right now, they're conducting a strike vote, which concludes on August 31st, to determine which way they will go in favour of a strike or not.
More bargaining dates are set to take place this fall.
