The union for hundreds of home health care workers employed by Northwood Homecare in the Halifax area says a Monday strike deadline could change if progress is made in weekend talks.

Nova Scotia Government and General Employees Union president Joan Jessome says negotiations will resume with the help of a conciliator at 5 p.m. tomorrow.

The main sticking point in the dispute is unpaid on-call scheduling, which sees homecare workers on-call for 10 hours while they are paid for an eight-hour day.
