As discussed at our Special General Membership meeting , over the past six years, we have demonstrated our commitment to fiscal responsibility by effectively managing and maintaining our operating costs. This has allowed us to keep one of the lowest membership rates in the country while continuing to support our members during challenging economic times.
Through strategic planning, careful use of book-offs, and a focus on education, we have made informed financial decisions that have helped us sustain balanced budgets each year.
Although we recognize the importance of implementing a $2.00 increase to dues to address essential training requirements, we want to assure our members that this decision was made with careful consideration of our ongoing commitment to keeping costs efficient and supporting our membership.
The biweekly dues increase of $2.00 will take effect on Pay Period 6 (March 13th, 2025) for both Manitoba Hydro and Efficiency Manitoba CUPE members.
