Labour Adjustment Strategy (LAS)

The Labour Adjustment Strategy included two sets of agreements:

• The Workforce Adjustment Process Guidelines (WFA) were a set of agreements among non-Aboriginal child and family services agencies, the unions and the staff association representing the employees of these agencies, and the Province of Manitoba. These agreements focus on the roles and responsibilities of employees, employers, and the Province.
• The Master Human Resources Framework Agreement (MHRA) was a set of agreements among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal child welfare agencies and the Province of Manitoba. It focuses on the roles and responsibilities of CFS agencies – both the non-Aboriginal agencies and government who seconded employees, and the Aboriginal agencies to which seconded employees were assigned.

Goal of This Sub-Project:

To develop the process through which staff of the General agencies (including regions) will be seconded to Aboriginal agencies.
