Canada’s largest labour disruption in history is now entering its sixth day, with public service employees striking over 100-thousand strong.
Today’s strategy is aimed at having workers picket and hamper access to ports, a strategy the Public Service Alliance of Canada says will have a stronger affect on the federal government.
The two parties have been at odds since negotiations began in June of 2021, and the union insists it can find other financing if it depletes the strike fund it’s been using to pay those on the picket line since Wednesday. There are about three-thousand federal employees in PEI who are a part of the national labour strike, and they include P-S-A-C members and Canada Revenue Agency workers.
