The Union representing Niagara Mohawk workers says they could strike as early as October 16th if their demands aren't met.
Union leaders for Local 97 say Nimo walked away from the bargaining table Thursday without a resolution and will not be back until Sunday with their new considerations.
A union vote is set up for next week, but until a proposal is made there is nothing to vote on.
The union represents 2,000 employees that work in billing, service, and emergency.
The Union President says line work will be affected by these negotiations.

Niagara Mohawk workers to strike?
The Union representing Niagara Mohawk workers says they could strike as early as October 16th if their demands aren't met.
"It is a very serious problem they are an extremely stock rich company, doing very well. In pension medical retiring benefits and job security are all open issues at the table. If these issues can not be resolved then on the 16th of October there would be nothing else for us to do but call for a strike," said David Falletta, president of IBEW, Local Union 97.
Falletta says if Nimo comes back Sunday ready to bargain seriously, the union will be ready to bargain with them.
Niagara Mohawk could not be reached for comment Friday evening.
