The union representing workers in a major bargaining dispute has reiterated that a strike is not its preferred outcome but has positioned it as a potential tool to pressure employers into reaching a fair agreement. In a statement, the union emphasized that walking off the job remains a final option, signaling its willingness to escalate tensions if negotiations stall. The framing suggests a strategic approach, using the threat of industrial action as leverage to push for concessions. Employers and workers alike will be watching closely to see whether talks can avoid a full-scale work stoppage.
