The Health Sciences union called a press conference in Regina Tuesday morning to discuss the possibility of escalating strike action or dropping it altogether.
President of the Health Sciences Association of Saskatchewan (HSAS), Cathy Dickson, said if the Wall government and SAHO would agree to submit their dispute to an agreed on third party, with the ability to set the terms and conditions of a new contract, HSAS would forego their right to strike with respect to the current contract negotiations.
Dickson added that a mediator would not be enough, having used one in the past and not finding it useful.
If the arbitration request or a new substantial offer from SAHO doesn't come through, Dickson says that strike action will continue to escalate. But, she insists they would never pull everyone off the job, which would break essential services legislation laws.
