Treasury Board and members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada intend to bargain through the weekend to try to resolve outstanding issues that led to a walkout by 155,000 federal civil servants.
The workers, including Canadian Grain Commission inspectors and other agricultural jobs, have been off the job since April 19.
The union issued a statement Friday, April 28, saying a new offer was on the table.
