Season IV – July 27th, 2017

Repeat session on August 10th, 2017

“Holland Cross Debates/Discussions” - Season IV.

The “Holland Cross Debates” sessions are intended to offer an open discussion with some PIPSC officials about key issues in the collective bargaining and other career related issues. It is one thing to get the views of the local audience at each Debate, but the “Holland Cross Debates” are also keen to find out what the rest of PIPSC members think about the issues we raise.

The Professional Institute stands united with the Manitoba Federation of Labour and the Partnership to Defend Public Services in the fight against Bill 28, the Public Services Sustainability Act passed in late June by the Pallister government.

The Partnership filed an injunction earlier today challenging the constitutionality of the Act.

Bill 28 is a one-sided approach to a problem manufactured by the government in its 2017 Budget, and an unwarranted attack on public services and the professionals that deliver them.
