A "message" from Message - Manitoba Moves to Protect Reservists' Jobs While They Serve
On the 31st of January, 2007, Labour and Immigration Minister Nancy Allan announced the province will be taking steps to protect reservists' civilian jobs and benefits when they serve their country.
Amendments to the Employment Standards Act will be introduced in the upcoming session that would ensure reservists civilian jobs and benefits will be waiting for them when their service is completed.
"Our province respects reservists in Canada's armed forces and values the important and often dangerous job they do," said Allan. "Reservists who leave their jobs to perform military service should be able to return to their civilian jobs after service."
Minister Allan noted the Labour Management Review Committee made up of business and labour representatives will be asked for its advice in consultation with stakeholders on the details of the changes.
