Workers at Manitoba Public Insurance have rejected the company's final contract offer.
Ballots were counted Thursday night.
The Manitoba Government Employees Union says there are two ways to go now: ask MPI to return to the table or take a strike vote.
The union says management told them they would not resume negotiations if the last offer was not accepted.
