Canada’s largest federal public service union is expected to reveal what came of last-ditch talks over the weekend after threatening the largest strike against a single employer in Canada’s history.
OTTAWA -
Some 155,000 employees are prepared to walk off the job, including 35,000 workers from the Canada Revenue Agency. The union also wants to put greater limits on contract work, more anti-racism training and provisions for remote work on the table. If the union decides to strike, it has indicated it may take a staggered approach so that some workers remain on the job at all times.
In December, Treasury Board President Mona Fortier approved a new collective agreement with the Association of Canadian Financial Officers that included a salary increase of 11 per cent over four years.
