The Society of Energy Professionals said 92 per cent of its members turned out for the province-wide vote.

A strike or lockout deadline can't be set until conciliation breaks down.
The contract expires on March 31.
The society says its members are unhappy with a proposal to lengthen the workweek to 40 hours from 35 hours with no pay increase.
