Farmres Dairy Dispute Update
Talks remain stalled between the two sides of a local labour dispute.
The CEP-Local 40 Union and Farmer's Dairy haven't spoken since a 17-hour bargaining session on July 9th, resulting in both sides walking away for the table.
Union President Brian Bennett says though there are no plans for further talks, he believes the non-unionized workers filling in can only last so long.
The union is holding out because of issues surrounding pay, pension and force labour.
Over 240 workers have been off the job since 12:01 Saturday morning.
