Due to Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union strike action, all Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) locations will be closed and all scheduled appointments will be
cancelled on Monday, August 28. A media release (Aug 27) said, “This includes all driver testing, estimating, adjusting and driver fitness appointments. Affected customers will be contacted to reschedule at a later date.
MPI has worked closely with its partners across the province to minimize the impacts customers may experience because of the strike action.
In collaboration with these partners, the following services will continue:
• Customers with general enquiries or front-end service transactions, including licence renewals and insurance payments, can visit one of MPI’s nearly 300 broker partners across the province.
• MPI’s Contact Centre will remain open for reporting personal injury claims, non-drivable collision claims, and total-theft claims.
• Customers with all other claims can go directly to an MPI-accredited repair shop for vehicle estimates and repairs without contacting MPI first.
• Customers with vehicles towed to the Physical Damage Centre compound will continue to have access to remove personal items.
• Essential services such as income replacement payments for personal injury claimants will continue uninterrupted.
All existing Autopac policies and driver licences will remain valid through the labour interruption period. MPI will update its website daily to reflect the most up-to-date service impact information available.”
