They say it’s still too soon to say strike.

The unions representing SIAST workers in Saskatchewan are now considering their next move – bargaining talks with the employer have broken down.

“We spend four days, including evenings talking, but by the end of the day Saturday we had reached an impasse,” said Jim Steele with the SIAST Academic Negotiation committee.

Earlier this month the unions voted in favor of strike action
Steele said, it’s still too early to say strike.

“What we basically need to do, is go back to our principles and get some direction from them,” said Steele.

The unions plans to meet today and may have a better idea on their next move by Friday.
