Members of the Manitoba Nurses Union ratified their tentative Central Table Agreement on June 16,2010.

The three and a half year agreement calls for a lump sum payment of 2 per cent, 1.1 per cent for pension deficit reduction over two years, and a 4 per cent salary increase in the third.

Nurses also attained a jointly funded COLA fund for all health care workers covered by the Healthcare Employees Pension Plan (HEPP).
 
In addition, a long service increment of 2 per cent will also be paid in the third year to MNU nurses with 20 years or more experience.

The third year salary increase and long service increment puts MNU nurses at 90 per cent of the Ontario Prairie Average.

The agreement expires March 31, 2013.
