As per the Memorandum from MNU:
In advance of the 50th Anniversary Annual General Meeting, we are collecting submissions for the Passages tribute video that will be shared at the in-person meeting.
To honour to the nurses that we have lost in the past year, we are calling on Regional/Local/Worksite Presidents to assist. If you know of a nurse we have lost, kindly send the name and photo (if possible) to our Communications Team at passages@manitobanurses.ca. As it is very important to us that we don’t miss anyone, we greatly appreciate your assistance.
The process of creating the tribute video takes time, therefore the deadline for the names and photos is Tuesday, March 25th, 2025, at 4pm. Anything sent after that date, will be included in the 2026 tribute.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our Comms Team at comms@manitobanurses.ca
In solidarity,
Darlene Jackson
President
Manitoba Nurses Union

Extension of an 8 Hour Shift to a 12 Hour Shift
As follow up to the General Meeting held October 28, 2024 via Zoom at 1600 hours
Employer’s Memo Included:
Overtime Clarification
Due to some inconsistent practices across the Centre, clarification was provided with regards to overtime and shift length with regards to part-time employees in units with 12-hour shift patterns. Please note that the below change is effective immediately.
- Part-Time nurses who are offered a 12 hour pick up-shift, initially agree to work part of the shift (most often 8 hours), then later agree to work the remaining hours, where the nurse is not in an OT situation, they are not eligible for OT for the remainder of the 12h shift. They are only eligible for OT if they work past the 12h shift or if they are at an excess of full time hours in the 4 week block. (This is per the collective agreement- MNU MOA 24).
The Union was advised by members of the above memo.
The Union served notice to the Employer that should the nurse only be able to contract to complete the 1st 8 hours and then the Employer asks the nurse to stay for the final 4 hours, those final 4 hours will be at overtime rates. Should a nurse voluntarily stay at the request of the Employer they should clarify with the Employer the pay will be at overtime rates as per the Union’s position on this matter.
Should the nurse only be paid at straight time the Union would require the following pieces of evidence before proceeding and including but not limiting to:
1) A narrative of the conversation that took place, date, time and name of the Manager/Supervisor you spoke with.
2) The hours from the electronic payroll hours showing what you worked for date in question.
3) A copy of your pay statement showing the rate of pay you received for said shift in question.
