Medical lab workers in Manitoba ordered back to work after one-day strike
Several hundred medical lab workers in Manitoba are returning to their jobs following a one-day strike, as mandated by the Manitoba Labour Board. The 350 workers across 22 Dynacare diagnostic labs in the province have agreed to adhere to the board's decision. Dynacare, a private operator and the primary collector of routine lab work in Manitoba, expressed gratitude for the intervention by the labour board.
The government has urged the company to resume negotiations with the Manitoba Association of Health Care Professionals. Union president Jason Linklater criticized the province for interfering with contract negotiations and expressed loss of trust in Premier Wab Kinew's government.
