Public Service Announcement: Labour Disruption

Public Service Announcement: Labour Disruption

October 3, 2019

Labour negotiations between SaskTel and Unifor have reached an impasse and Unifor has indicated to their members that effective Friday, October 4, 2019, they will commence a strike.

SaskTel will make every effort to minimize the impact of a labour disruption to our customers by having our management team maintain services. While SaskTel will do its best to continue to serve our customers, delays may be experienced as the primary focus will be on maintaining the networks and services for our customers.

Contract negotiations between Unifor and SaskTel have been ongoing since January 29, 2019 when initial proposals were exchanged. On March 25, 2019, Unifor advised SaskTel that, in their opinion, a bargaining impasse had been reached and that they would be applying to the Federal Minister of Labour’s office for conciliation. A conciliator was appointed and bargaining between SaskTel and Unifor continued until September 26, 2019. A tentative agreement was not reached.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank customers for their patience. Please see the attached backgrounder for important customer information about service availability during a labour disruption.
