REGINA — A union representing more than 700 workers in a contract dispute at the Co-op oil refinery tried to shut down the Regina facility Monday as police made arrests. Unifor posted a video on Twitter late in the afternoon showing officers taking the union’s national president, Jerry Dias, and western regional director, Gavin McGarrigle, into custody. Co-op said the union is violating a court injunction if it blocks entrance points and called the move a bullying tactic. Workers at the refinery were locked out in early December after the union voted in favour of a strike and issued a notice.
