The Manitoba Labour Board (the Board) was established in 1948 as a quasi-judicial, specialist tribunal to adjudicate labour relations issues.
Since that time, the Board’s jurisdiction has expanded. The Board has responsibilities under The Labour Relations Act, The Employment Standards Code, The Workplace Safety and Health Act and nine other statutes. The Board responds to applications, appeals and referrals and assists parties in resolving disputes informally through mediation, or formally by issuing final decisions, often after conducting a hearing.
