The only NDP MLA here in northern Manitoba says that when the Legislature resumes sitting October third, he’s going to keep pressing the Pallister Government on labour and the region as a whole. 

Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey, who serves as the NDP Labour Critic, told Arctic Radio News that the current government has made it harder for a working person to get ahead in Manitoba following a freeze in the minimum wage and their work to make joining a union harder.  

Lindsey suggested that the government should look at how the Mining Community Reserve Fund could be used to create mining jobs, and that having the rail line to Churchill closed hasn’t helped at all.
