An arbitrated agreement has been reached for workers at Metis Child and Family Services and Michif Child and Family Services, including those who work here in Dauphin.

The four-year agreement is retroactive to February 1st, 2023, and includes a 14 per cent wage increase over the term of the contract.

MGEU - the union representing the workers - says the new agreement is a victory for the workers, adding that they said from the start that workers doing the same critical work should be compensated fairly, regardless of what agency they work for. 

The new deal is in effect until January 31, 2027.
