SGEU members who work at the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board says they are at an impasse in bargaining and have asked the Minister responsible to appoint a provincial Labour Relations Officer to assist in reaching an agreement.

A tentative deal was rejected in June and Debbie Wallace, Chair of the SGEU WCB Bargaining Committee, says they are seeking what they describe as a more reasonable wage offer at the bargaining table.

Approximately 430 SGEU members have been without a contract since December 31.
