Ninth day of public strike for federal workers

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 27 Apr, 2023 11:56 AM
  • Ninth day of public strike for federal workers

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.

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