Fed workers strike continues across Canada

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 20 Apr, 2023 10:11 AM
  • Fed workers strike continues across Canada

Federal workers are on strike at more than 250 locations across Canada as part of a job action by the Public Service Alliance of Canada.

It's day two of the strike, which came after bargaining groups failed to come to an agreement over a few sticking points --  including wages.

P-SAC's national president Chris Aylward told reporters yesterday that enough is enough.

Both the union and federal government are warning of major service disruptions as a result of the strike.
