Winnipeg Association of Non-Teaching Employees Collective Agreement

The Winnipeg Association of Non-Teaching Employees (WANTE) has recently negotiated a new collective agreement with their employer. This agreement highlights the importance of fair compensation and working conditions for non-teaching employees in the Winnipeg School Division.

The collective agreement covers a wide range of topics, including salary increases, benefits, and vacation time. It also includes provisions for workplace safety, harassment prevention, and dispute resolution.

One of the key benefits of this agreement is the salary increase for non-teaching employees. The agreement includes a 2% increase in the first year, followed by a 1.5% increase in the second and third years. This is a significant improvement from previous agreements and reflects the hard work and dedication of non-teaching employees in the Winnipeg School Division.

Another important aspect of this agreement is the focus on workplace safety. The collective agreement includes provisions for ergonomic assessments and training, as well as a commitment to addressing workplace hazards and ensuring a safe working environment for all employees.

The agreement also emphasizes the importance of harassment prevention in the workplace. Non-teaching employees are entitled to a workplace free from discrimination and harassment, and the collective agreement outlines policies and procedures for handling complaints and resolving disputes.

In addition to these benefits, the collective agreement provides for a range of other improvements, including increased vacation time and flexible schedules for employees.

Overall, the Winnipeg Association of Non-Teaching Employees collective agreement is a significant win for non-teaching employees in the Winnipeg School Division. It reflects a commitment to fair compensation and working conditions, as well as a focus on workplace safety and harassment prevention. As a result, non-teaching employees can feel supported and valued in their roles within the school division.
