KAMLOOPS — Although they have an overwhelming mandate from their members to strike,
The United Steelworks will take one last crack at a negotiated settlement with Highland Valley Copper.
Srike notice hasn’t been served on the company yet, workers voted 99.8 percent in favor of strike action just over a week ago.
The union says lack of movement by the company triggered the vote.
Contract language and wages are among the outstanding issues.
