Unions serve Viterra with 72-hour strike notice

REGINA, SK – Workers at Viterra Canada are ready to strike.

GSU locals 1 and 2, which represent the country operations and maintenance workers and employees at Regina head office respectively, served Viterra with 72-hour strike notice on Tuesday.

The move comes after the unions rejected a final offer from the grain-handling and agri-business company in mid-December.

According to the unions, negotiations will resume on Wednesday, January 3, 2024 and Thursday, January 4 in Regina. If an agreement isn’t reached, the strike could kick off at 2 p.m. on Friday, January 5.
