The members of Local 2067 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers employed by SaskPower have voted to reject the most recent offer presented to the membership for ratification.
The union says it was determined by the members that the agreement did not meet their requirements for acceptance.
More than 1,600 members have been working with an expired agreement since Dec. 31, 2016.
The union says it has been difficult to bargain within the constraints imposed by the provincial government, and members feel as though they are being left behind.
“The local will work hard to reach an agreement with the power corporation that will meet the requirements of the membership. Meanwhile, the members will continue to do their jobs in a professional manner as they always have during difficult times,” says a statement issued by IBEW Local 2067.
IBEW Local 2067 represents over 2,000 members employed in various businesses throughout Saskatchewan.
