HALIFAX – The union representing striking Chronicle Herald newsroom workers announced Monday it will be filing a complaint against the paper with the Nova Scotia Labour Board.

The Halifax Typographical Union and its parent union CWA Canada said the newspaper is not bargaining in good faith, and is rather focused on busting the union.

This, the unions says, after the paper continued to reject offers that included major concessions on behalf of workers.

“As soon as we would make an offer that we would think would be going in the right right direction they would say thank you very much, we want all the rest of these things,” said Ingrid Bulmer, president of the HTU.

President of CWA Canada Martin O’Hanlon, who has dealt with a number of negotiations across the country, said negotiations with the Herald have been “difficult to fathom” and different than any other bargaining he has experienced.

The union said Monday the complaint would be filed at some point this week in hopes the Labour Board will either force the two sides back to the table, or suggest more drastic action.
