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.

Canada's Striking Federal Workers Demand Swift Contract Resolution from Trudeau

The strike by 155,000 Canadian federal government workers continues amid ongoing talks about a deal for revenue agency workers. The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) said progress has been made on remote work and wage increases for Treasury Board employees. Talks with the government about wage increases for revenue agency workers have not made progress. The union is demanding a pay hike of 22.5% over three years for revenue agency workers and a 13.5% pay rise over three years for Treasury Board workers. The government offered both groups a 9% increase over three years.

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

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.
