In a recent media story, it was suggested that Manitoba Liquor store clerks are paid a starting wage of $18.14/hr. As many members know, this is for a full-time employee. The media outlet garnered this information from the GOLICO contract on the MGEU website (page 102).

The reality is Customer Service Clerks begin as PT workers and are paid at a rate of $13.54/hr. An innocent error was made, which has been pointed out to the media outlet. Any future reporting will reflect the wage for part-time employees, which is a more accurate reflection.
