New Manitoba NDP government replaces most of Crown corporation board with eye on ending strike by 1,700 unionized workers

Two days after being sworn in, Manitoba’s NDP government has replaced most board members at the provincial Crown corporation that provides vehicle insurance.

Carmen Nedohin has replaced Ward Keith as the board’s chair. Nedohin is the former chair of the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission and a former Manitoba Hydro board member. She will be joined by several former Manitoba Public Insurance employees, as well as labour and community leaders. Wiebe said he has directed the board to rescind the final offer and any previous bargaining mandates, as well as to not immediately seek binding arbitration and instead work with the workers’ union to establish new bargaining dates.
