A strike deadline looms for the city’s 54 paramedics that are apart of Unifor Local 13-59.
The union local has put out a statement saying the strike deadline is February 28th.
The union says negotiations have reached an impasse and the statement is very critical of the city’s negotiating position calling their bargaining proposals ‘disrespectful’.
If a strike were to go ahead it would mean a reduction in paramedic services for the city.
Among the issues of contention is wages.
A demonstration is planned for 3:30 this afternoon prior to city council’s meeting.
