Processing Plant Employment

Material From Original Gov't Discussion Paper

[ Intro to employment response from original discussion papersource#1, "Outlook for Manitoba's Livestock Industry" section p. 4]

Manitoba meat processing plants currently employ about 2,860 staff and have a combined annual payroll of approximately $75.5 million. Adding a second shift to Maple Leaf’s production line in Brandon will add approximately 1,100 more staff. A similar number of staff are expected to be added to the workforce at Schneider’s proposed Winnipeg expansion. The spin-off effects of the expansion are expected to create 5,500 additional jobs.
