Dear Member;

I want to thank our valued and dedicated membership for their participation in the ratification vote that came to a conclusion at noon today.  The members have spoken loudly and clearly that Manitoba Hydro’s offer is unacceptable with 82% participation in the vote and 87% of the membership voting to REJECT the final offer.

The Union will continue urging Manitoba Hydro to return to the bargaining table and to negotiate a fair and reasonable agreement.  Your Bargaining Committee remains committed to the process and applying the necessary pressure to make that happen.

Members need to be assured that the Union will exhaust every possible means of attaining a fair agreement and will do its utmost to avoid invoking a strike. Please monitor your emails closely, and contact the office if your email is not up to date at admin@ibew2034.com.

Thank you to all the membership for coming together in solidarity and making your voices heard.  We will continue to work diligently in seeking the fair settlement that you so justly deserve.

Thank you for support.

In solidarity,

Business Manager
IBEW Local Union 2034
