Manitoba Jobs Agreements -
Spot the Red Flags

No MJA sign, black text with red prohibition symbol over it.

Manitoba’s provincial government is enforcing the Manitoba Jobs Agreement (MJA) on all provincially funded projects worth more than $50 million. This project labour agreement gives union contractors an unfair advantage over their open-shop counterparts, despite the fact that 88% of construction workers in Manitoba work in non-union environments.

MJAs are a solution in search of a problem. They won’t increase wages. They won’t improve safety. And they’re going to increase costs for the hospitals, schools and roads Manitobans rely on up to 20% more.

  • 🚩 The MJA discriminates against the 88% of construction workers not in unions.
    That’s a Red Flag.

  • 🚩 Millions of taxpayer dollars are flowing directly to a union body with no oversight.
    That’s a Red Flag.

  • 🚩 Manitobans are paying 20% more on all school, hospital and road construction.
    That’s a HUGE Red Flag.

  • 🚩The MJA is Moving Jobs Away from Manitobans.

    That’s another Red Flag.

The Manitoba Jobs Agreement is full of red flags.

We didn’t agree to this.

Manitobans can’t afford it.
