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.

And here we go! Day 2 is in full swing with full and strong lines throughout the prairies. The weather isn't ideal but that's okay we have our prairie strength to keep us going...well that and proper winter gear 😉 #UnionPridePrairieWide #WorkersCantWait #canlab

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.
