A ninth day of striking is set to dawn for federal public service workers looking for a new contract.
The head of the Public Service Alliance of Canada says the government has yet to change their position on wage demands.
National President Chris Aylward says his workers deserve a raise that keeps up with inflation and the current offer of nine per cent over three years doesn't cut it.
"If the prime minister can turn his back on these striking members, he will turn his back on every single worker in this country," says PSAC national president Chris Aylward as he reiterates call for PM Trudeau to get involved in public sector union talks to end strike.#cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/hSZTZAS5yC

Talks have stalled. This gov't says it cares about restoring services for Canadians, but they seem content to shrug it off and prolong this strike.

He has also called for the prime minister to get directly involved in the talks.
