The General and Grain Services Union, which represents 436 Viterra workers between Locals 1 & 2, appear to have a new bone to pick with the company.

The Government of Saskatchewan has announced a freeze on the 2024 Crown land grazing rates, maintaining them at 2022 levels. This decision responds to the agricultural industry's challenges from several years of persistent dry conditions.

The expression is "it's just nice to be nominated". Last Mountain Distillery in Lumsden has brought back some prestigious awards from the Canadian Whisky Awards, held in Victoria, B.C..

There will be no strike at Viterra, as employees voted in favour of the offer presented to them.

The union which represents about 436 Viterra employees is counting members votes Friday on accepting or rejecting the company's latest offer.

Farmers who do business with Viterra may be breathing a sigh of relief. Late Thursday evening, Viterra presented its final offer to the Grain and General Services Union (GSU) Locals 1 & 2, which represents 436 employees.

After prolonged negotiations, Viterra unveiled a new Final Offer to the GSU bargaining committee following the rejection of the initial proposal in November 2023. A meeting with the elected officers of Locals 1 and 2 is set for today at 9:30 a.m.

The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) and the Saskatchewan Trucking Association (STA) are hoping a deal can be reached between Viterra and the union representing its employees before its too late.

Viterra responded to the 72-hour strike notice issued by the union representing its employees.
