OTTAWA — The head of the union representing thousands of striking public-service workers called on the Prime Minister to get involved in negotiations on Saturday as he decried the slow pace of talks with the federal Treasury Board.
"This screams of the incompetance of Mona Fortier . . . and her team," Aylward told reporters outside an Ottawa hotel."The prime minister has done nothing to move these negotiations along. Our members are fed up." The workers are calling for wage increases and improvements to working conditions, as well as the option for remote work and a number of other issues.
The labour board decided against overturning the vote, finding it was unlikely there would have been a different result even if the union had been more forthcoming with its members.
