Michelle Gawronsky says the work stoppage could force emergency rooms, Child and Family Services after-hours, and shelters to pick up the slack.

A statement on the MYS website states striking employees have been without a collective agreement for the last two years and are asking for, “modest wage and benefits increases over four years.”

While essential services are in place, MYS says they have reduced hours and services which will impact the level of care the organization can provide during the strike.

MYS staff operates the Youth Stabilization Unit and other programs for some of Manitoba’s most vulnerable young people.

A list of services affected by the strike is posted on the organization’s website and Facebook page.
