Eye on the home Pathetic words from Manitoba justice minister
Manitoba Justice Minister Gordon Mackintosh faces a public feud with the Manitoba Association of Crown Attorneys MACA led by Bob Morrison. The union claims understaffing and heavy workloads, citing 81 prosecutors handling over 43 000 cases in 2000 and a need for 20 more Crown attorneys. Morrison criticizes pay and conditions while pointing to Alberta salaries and a 31 000 starting wage in Manitoba. The dispute, framed as hard bargaining versus pro union stance, draws mixed political reaction.
