Unifor calls the latest offer from SaskTel totally unacceptable.

Unifor National President Jerry Dias says it is an insult to all their members who work at what he describes as a very profitable Crown corporation.

And Western Regional Director Joie Warnock says the monetary package that was offered when the union’s bargaining committee met with SaskTel and the Federal Mediator this week, is a slap in the face.

Warnock notes the government gave itself a 2.3 per cent increase this spring and the package offered provides for only a 0 per cent increase until 2021 when a 1 per cent increase takes effect.

SaskTel workers are in a legal strike position and Unifor is evaluating what will be the next step.
