Bargaining talks are expected to take place over the weekend until a deal or impasse is reached.

If talks break down, Unifor said they want the province to impose binding arbitration.

Representatives from Federated Co-op Ltd. (FCL) and Unifor decided to head to the bargaining table on Thursday.

Hundreds of Co-op Refinery employees have been locked out since Dec. 5. Both parties have been in disagreement over employee pensions.
