155,000 Canadian federal workers on strike over pay dispute.

TL;DR Summary
Over 155,000 Canadian federal workers have gone on strike, the largest action of its kind in over three decades, after the union for federal workers failed to reach an agreement with the government on issues related to wages and work-from-home. The strike is expected to affect multiple government services, from tax filings to passport renewals, and could cause delays at airports and border crossings. Talks are ongoing, and federal workers have asked for a series of pay bumps to keep up with the high rate of inflation. The government offered a 9% wage increase over three years, but the union asked for a higher increase over the same period.
