Viterra puts forward a new Final Offer to avoid a strike

Viterra has put forward a new Final Offer to the bargaining committee of the Grain and General Services Union.

The offer came in last night following extensive negotiations.

The two sides spent the last two days meeting with a federal mediator.

Viterra's first Final Offer was rejected by GSU members in November (2023).

The elected officers for GSU Locals 1 and 2 are currently reviewing the offer.

The GSU served its 72-hour strike notice on Tuesday and would be in a position to walk out this afternoon.

The Union says their key issues are reliable wage increases, better work-family balance, health and safety, and greater respect in the workplace.

We'll have more information on this as it becomes available.
