Regina-The 194-member Grain Service Union, which represents workers at Viterra’s Regina office, began a strike July 7. “The GSU’s action is disappointing given the significance of the company’s offer and opportunities for additional compensation through a generous annual incentive program,” said Colleen Vancha, Viterra’s vice president of investor relations and corporate affairs. In the meantime, approximately 613 unionized employees with the Saskatchewan Country Operations and Maintenance units reported to work at their usual time; however, they advised Viterra that they would only work overtime on a voluntary basis. This group has also rejected the Viterra contract offer, but just barely. Vancha said it is business as usual at the company as it has contingency plans in place.
