A few hours after a public news conference, Unifor held another one to invite Federated Co-operatives Limited to the bargaining table Thursday morning.
The National President of Unifor replied to a response from FCL, which said if the union were to follow the law in the court rulings, the 2 sides could be back at the table within hours.
Jerry Dias is taking them up on that.
He says at 10 a.m. on Thursday, the bargaining committee for Unifor Local 594 will be prepared to sit down at the table and find a resolution to the lockout.
If FCL agrees, at 10 a.m., they will take down the blockade and comply with the orders from Saskatchewan courts.

Earlier in the day, Dias claimed the company issued a new precondition for a resumption of talks after the union agreed pensions would not be part of future negotiations.
On both occasions on Wednesday, Dias called on Premier Scott Moe to issue an ultimatum to both bargaining teams.
He says the premier should give negotiators 48 hours to reach a settlement before ordering binding arbitration.
In response to the first news conference, the Premier’s office said they would need to receive more detail on the proposal before responding.
Dias feels that would allow the 800 locked out workers to return to their jobs on Monday.
This is the first statement from either side since Monday’s meeting between Unifor and company officials in Saskatoon.
Prior to that meeting local 594 president Kevin Bittman said the union took two key demands off the table in an effort to resume negotiations.
Unionized employees were locked out eight weeks ago in a dispute over pensions.
Unifor says the company wants to roll back provisions gained in the previous contract.
