RRC Polytech, MGEU collaborate on Truth and Reconciliation in collective bargaining

Red River College Polytechnic and the Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union (MGEU) Local 73 have signed an agreement to advance Truth and Reconciliation in the collective bargaining process. A joint Truth and Reconciliation Working Group was established to explore opportunities to advance Truth and Reconciliation within the polytechnic’s collective agreement across themes including inclusive language, family, and leaves. A total of 21 recommendations were made, and nearly all were implemented in the polytechnic’s 2025–2028 collective agreement. RRC Polytech President Fred Meier explained that the process sets a precedent for other postsecondary institutions across Canada.
