FOR THE WORKERS OF A LEADER MANITOBA Long before Wab Kinew was elected as the Premier of Manitoba, we started to align ourselves and support his leadership. We continued with support of his election campaign for Premier with our LIUNA boots to the ground. We knew that his vision for the workers of Manitoba was something we could stand behind with full support. It was time for change for the people of Manitoba. We had for far too long been led by a government that was complacent; a government that froze minimum wage; that cut public sector wages; and that introduced Bill 7 - legislation that eliminated card-check certification, which made it easier for employers to interfere with union organizing drives. It was clear we didn’t have a leader that supported workers rights. We needed someone that would represent the interests of the people, the workers and support the labour movement. Wab’s leadership brings a renewed sense of optimism and hope to our Province. We know that he will continue to make changes that benefit the workers in our communities, making it easier to earn a living wage, making it easier to join a Union if your workplace needs improvement and investing in infrastructure to ensure our communities continue to grow and prosper. We look forward to working with the government in the coming years to fulfill Premier Wab Kinew’s vision for the people of Manitoba.
