It's official; after 94% of SUN members turned down the latest contact offer, they have announced they'll hold a strike vote on May 7th.

     The nurses' union rejected SAHO's offer of a 5% increase in each of the next two years.

     Health Minister Don McMorris is disappointed to hear the "strike" word.

     Negotiations between the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses and SAHO began in February, but it took until April before both sides presented each other with contract proposals.
