The Health Services union is taking a break from striking today.

The health care workers that walked off the job in Swift Current on Friday are back at work.

The Health Sciences Association of Saskatchewan officials said they to give the Premier a window to agree to binding arbitration.

The union says binding arbitration is the only way this contract dispute will be resolved.

The two sides are still too far apart on wages and HSAS says Essential Services Legislation hampers half of its members from striking.
