Ottawa 'disappointed' after union announces strike votes for 120,000 workers
The union says the vote follows a year and a half of contract talks and a wage offer it called insulting.
- On Oct 23, The Public Service Alliance announced that 120,000 workers will participate in nationwide strike votes starting next month, prompting The Treasury Board to express disappointment with the decision.
- Contract negotiations between the Treasury Board and The Public Service Alliance have spanned a year and a half, with the union describing a government wage offer as "insulting" in May.
- The Treasury Board says it has engaged with PSAC on all proposals for the past year and a half; several days of mediation recently led to progress on certain points.
- Voting on the strike action will take place from Nov 16 to Jan 22, with PSAC preparing for the nationwide ballot among its membership across Canada.
- The Treasury Board says the best deals are reached at the bargaining table rather than through work stoppages, while respecting workers' right to strike.
