Armoured car workers from G4S Secur Cor Cash Solutions are walking the picket line for a third week with no new talks scheduled.

Members of the teamsters union began it's strike on September.23rd after contract negotiations broke down.

Union spokes-person Phillip Comeau tells CHSJ News, he can't believe management covering their jobs are happy with the situation.


Comeau says the union wanted to get back to the bargaining table last week but the company declined the offer.


The union is looking for a three year contract, better wages and there is a 13% wage increase that is still out-standing from the now expired contract.


Workers are also refusing to be forced to take a polygraph test.
