According to CBC both workers and city officials want the other to reach out first with the mayor saying they are prepared to wait as long as it takes.
CUPE representatives say the city needs to contact a provincial mediator and come back with a new monetary offer.
The dispute largely comes down to money as workers… who have been without a contract for more than 20 months… say offers from the city don’t keep up with inflation.
