The Manitoba federation of Labour is the province's senior central labour body body, chartered by the Canadian Labour Congress in 1956 to represent the interests of CLC affiliated unions in Manitoba.
Our affiliates have membership in the private and public sector, including the Manufacturing sector, government offices, retail stores, hospitals, schools the natural resources sector, tourism, agriculture, transportation, and many others.
A major role of the MFL is to provide a forum for our affiliates to develop consensus decisions on common issues and speak for our affiliates in dealing with the provincial government, the business sector and with community groups. We coordinate the appointment of union representatives on government boards and commissions to ensure that the legitimate views of workers are put forward. We lobby government for progressive legislation and policies that will benefit working people and against polices that will hurt them.
