An annual Saskatchewan Government and General Employees’ Union (SGEU) convention was shut down by striking staff members of the complex where the convention was to be held. The strikers are members of a different union, the Communications Energy and Paperworkers Union. About a dozen strikers picketed the entrance of the event. Delegates of the SGEU, who were prepared to hold sessions and hear speeches, did not attend because they refused to cross the picket line.

The Communications Energy and Paperworkers Union says their members have been trying for a year and a half to get a new collective agreement. The picketers let up Friday afternoon after talks between the two sides.
