G4S Secur-Cor Cash Solutions is on strike so picket signs are up at banks around the Province and the Island.
The armoured car company services several banks including the Royal, CIBC and TD branches.
Teamster Union spokes-person Phillip Comeau tells CHSJ News, the latest offer from the company is not a fair deal.
Comeau says the company also wants every employee to be subject to a polygraph test which is not acceptable.
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.
Management for the company is filling in for the workers and the other armoured car companies in the city and Province say they will honor the picket line.
