The public-sector union representing Canada Revenue Agency employees has struck a tentative deal with the federal government, ending a strike of 35,000 workers just after the tax season wrapped up.
The announcement of a prospective agreement comes after the government and Public Service Alliance of Canada came to separate deals that ended a strike of more than 120,000 other public servants.
CRA employees represented by PSAC's Union of Taxation Employees were still on strike two days after the federal tax-filing deadline.
The union threatened earlier today that it would plan to send its members to disrupt a Liberal party convention in Ottawa on Thursday if the employer didn't table a "fair" deal.
The separate agreements that PSAC negotiated with the government included a 11.5 per cent wage increase over four years.
Earlier in the negotiations, the tax employees' union had been pushing for a 20.5 per cent increase over a three-year period.
