Treasury Board sends open letter to Canadians on talks with union amid ongoing strike
The federal government offered to do a joint review of its return-to-office orders for civil servants but hasn’t budged on its latest wage offer, as a strike of the government’s largest public-sector union continued for a sixth day Monday.
Over the weekend, both sides accused each other of obstructing negotiations and being too slow to respond to key developments. In Ottawa, where the majority of federal civil servants live and work, there were few signs of an amped up picketing presence. “This screams of the incompetence of Mona Fortier as the president of the Treasury Board, and her team,” he said at a press conference Saturday afternoon.
The government’s initial wage offer, made in May 2022, was 8.2 per cent over three years. It increased the wage offer before workers hit the picket line last week.
