WINNIPEG — No talks are scheduled in the Manitoba Hydro strike as 24-hour picketing kicks in Monday.
“There are no talks scheduled,” said Lauris Kleven, business manager for the 3,000 members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 2034.
Hydro workers walked off the job at 6 p.m. Friday and there was some picketing this weekend, but Kleven said all employees will take up picketing duties today at the facility nearest their home.
“Picketing was always set to go on Monday,” he said.
Hydro spokesman Glenn Schneider said that there were no outages on Sunday, and no strikers had to provide emergency services.
“There’s no formal negotiations going on — there are phone calls going back and forth,” said Schneider.
