Another province-wide strike could be on the horizon. 

MGEU members employed by Manitoba Public Insurance voted overwhelmingly this past week to reject the latest contract offer, and to initiate strike action. 

No official strike date has been announced as of yet, but a release from the union says preparations for job action will begin today. 

The union represents apprioximately 1,700 MPI employees across the province, including here in Dauphin. 

The news release adds that the union has asked MPI to return to the bargaining table, as soon as possible in hopes in negotiating a new agreement and averting any job action. 

The members have been without a new contract since September 26th of last year.
