PSAC workers to strike from Wednesday if union doesn’t reach deal with Ottawa

Over 155,000 federal public servants will strike on Wednesday if no deal is reached between the government and the Public Service Alliance of Canada.

While talking to the media, National president Chris Aylward told reporters on Monday that despite progress being made on several fronts, there has been little movement on the union’s key priorities.

If no deal is reached by 9 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, workers will be on strike as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Wednesday.

It is worth mentioning that the unions have been fighting for increased wages, benefits and remote work.

Members include cleaners and cooks on military bases, clerks and maintenance workers, tradespeople, Coast Guard search and rescue teams, teachers, firefighters and workers who process employment insurance, passport applications and immigration documents.
