Regina-Viterra Inc. and members of the striking Grain Services Union were in mediation Sept. 10-11, according to GSU. As of Sept. 10, however, it said pickets were still up at Viterra’s Regina headquarters, as well as locations at Balgonie, Moose Jaw Seed, Shaunavon, and Swift Current. GSU had recently threatened that some 650 workers throughout Saskatchewan would join striking Regina office workers if the dispute was not soon resolved. Mediation discussions soon resumed. In the meantime, GSU donated $1,000 to the strike fund of the United Steelworkers Union, which continues its strike against PotashCorp. The two unions have vowed solidarity and have been giving each other moral support.
