On April 30, 2025 members at Manitoba Arts Council - Local 444, who support the study, enjoyment, production and performance of artistic works in our province, voted to ratify a new four-year collective agreement (effective April 1, 2025 - March 31, 2029).
The new agreement includes wage increases in each year of the agreement, including a new step applied to all classifications, the introduction of new personal wellness days, increases in meal and mileage per diems and a 20-year long service step.
The next step in concluding the collective agreement is to work with the employer to finalize and sign-off the document, which could take some time. Members are encouraged to make sure the union has their current contact information to receive a link to their new collective agreement once it is available.
