Unionized Admin and Adjustors at Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation(MASC) have voted strongly in favour of a strike mandate.
MASC workers are represented by the Manitoba Government and General Employees Union(MGEU), and president Kyle Ross says while striking is the last option, it's something that might have to happen.
"We just want to bargain a fair deal, we're not seeing offers. Last year alone, inflation was over eight percent, and we're being offered less than that for the total of the four-year deal. It's just not something that's fair to our workers and fair to the people that support these farmers."
Ross says there's a lot of work that needs to be done to get to a place where it's fair for everyone. The workers have been without a deal since 2019.
Ross says updates on the MASC union's situation will be posted to the MGEU website, and he also encourages farmers to talk to their adjustors about the situation.
