Moose Jaw City Police support staff have given their notice that if a more fair contract is not negotiated, the approximately 25 unionized workers will hit the picket lines.

Back on Tuesday, members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 9 voted 83% in favour to take job action up to and including a strike. The workers, who have been without a contract since December 2011, are looking for an agreement that will bring them up to par with other members in other jurisdictions.

Support staff include those who answer 9-1-1 calls, help diffuse situations over the phone, type reports and court documents, do criminal record checks, process tickets and handle fingerprinting.
