“This offer needs to be rejected — again — in order to ensure fair contracts which include basic equity provisions and a modicum of job security for all three units, as well as proper compensation and protections once the strike ends.”

Contract staff walked off the job on March 5 citing key issues like wages and job security.

Electronic voting on the latest offer closes on Monday.
