Canada : Negotiations continue between city and transit union
Negotiations continued Sunday between the City of Saskatoon and the union representing Saskatoon’s transit workers.
The Amalgamated Transit Union issued a 48 hour strike notice on Friday. That notice
was set to end at 5:00 p.m. Sunday.
Transit employees in Saskatoon have worked without a contract for four years. Workers are concerned about wages and a pension plan.
After months without meeting, the two groups resumed negotiations last week. Talks continued this weekend, beginning at 11:00 a.m. Sunday and lasting more than four hours.
The union was unclear about what action it planned to take when the notice ended. A letter sent to the city said workers would not be walking off the job.
