More than 120-thousand federal workers with Canada’s Treasury Board have voted to strike, joining tens of thousands of fellow members of The Public Service Alliance of Canada working for Canada Revenue Agency, who voted to strike last week.
In a release, the Public Service Alliance of Canada says the latest strike mandate comes from members in the Program and Administrative Services, Operational Services and Education and Library Science bargaining groups.
Key issues among workers include fair wages, working hours, secure jobs and better work-life balance.
The Union’s Atlantic Region represents close to 18-thousand members in 208 locals. There are more than 1,500 here on the Island with members including staff at Veterans Affairs, Fisheries and Oceans, and Service Canada.
