Over 155,000 public service workers are going on strike, the Public Service Agency of Canada (PSAC) announced Tuesday night, after the union failed to reach an agreement with the federal government.
With 39,000 Canada Revenue Agency employees, other 120,000 PSAC 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.
Canada Revenue Agency says the strike will mean certain services will be delayed or unavailable.
It says the processing of some income tax and benefit returns, particularly those filed by paper, could be disrupted.
The CRA's business inquires line is closed, and the agency says it is prioritizing calls related to benefits payments.
It warns of longer wait times for callers.
