Saskatoon Co-op workers vote against company’s latest offer

Saskatoon Co-op workers remain on strike Saturday after rejecting the company’s latest contract offer.

According to Saskatoon Co-op, union members voted 60 per cent against a proposed deal on Friday.

“Without a doubt we’re disappointed,” Saskatoon Co-op CEO Grant Wicks said in a media release. “But we see the vote as progress toward reaching an agreement.”

The company said the offer tabled to members on Friday included revisions to the second-tier wage structure, which has been a sticking point.

Around 900 co-op workers walked off the job on Nov. 1, 2018, calling for changes to wages for new employees.
