Canada's Public Sector Strike Continues Amid Remote Work Demands.

Canada's largest federal strike in years continues as public and private unions watch to see if remote working will be built into the collective bargaining agreement. For the 155,000 Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) on strike, wages are the main sticking point, but remote work has become an additional negotiating point since the COVID-19 pandemic hit. PSAC wants to enshrine remote work protections into collective agreements, but the Treasury Board says it "cannot agree" because it would restrict managers' ability to manage their teams.
