8:30 – Despite a number of workers crossing the picket lines and returning to their jobs, the strike at the Saskatoon Co-op may be continuing for a while. According to Co-op management, they met with the union Friday to continue negotiations but the union rejected their counter-proposal and walked away from negotiations. UFCW 1400 released a statement Friday saying Co-op management refused to continue bargaining unless their proposal was accepted. As a result, the union has invited management to engage in binding arbitration. John is joined by Saskatoon Co-op CEO Grant Wicks to get the latest on the strike and the negotiations.
