Manitoba Sets Early Increase for Minimum Wage
The Manitoba Minimum Wage Board recommended automatic increases with cost of living rises by two percent. A majority report suggested a base of $1.50 per hour for applying the formula, while a minority urged staged hikes to $1.75 by July 1972 and $2 by 1973. The government announced a fairly early adjustment for garment, restaurant, and hotel sectors. The current rate is $1.50 after prior rises from $1.25 in 1968 and $1.35 in 1969, with the federal rate set to $1.75 by July and Ontario at $1.65, exemptions applying in both.
