OTTAWA — On Monday, federal public servants will return to the office a minimum of three days a week— if grudgingly. Public service unions will start the week with an early-morning rally opposing the policy.
OTTAWA — On Monday, federal public servants will return to the office a minimum of three days a week— if grudgingly.
That decision by the court"does not affect the decision on increased in-person presence," the Treasury Board said in a statement, noting both parties will have a chance to present their arguments to the court. Nathan Prier, president of the Canadian Association of Professional Employees, declined to specify the exact tactics the unions will urge members to use, but said it could include petitions demanding an exemption from the policy and moves to exploit contradictions in various government policies.
"I think a lot of people are unfortunately going to be showing up to offices that aren't ready to accommodate that return," either because the offices themselves won’t be ready or because there’s just not enough space for everyone to work. "Most federal public servants living in the Ottawa area in particular don't trust that the transit system here is credible," Prior said.
