Some 155,000 public workers in Canada will go on strike at midnight on Wednesday if they are unable to reach a wage deal with the federal government, the leader of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) union said on Monday.
PSAC President Chris Aylward said he was "setting a clock on this round of bargaining" and that a strike would be called if there is no deal by 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
"Despite some progress at the bargaining table, our members are frustrated that while negotiations drag on, they continue to fall behind," Aylward told reporters. "We've always said from day one, we need wages for our members that will keep up with inflation." Aylward said the offers received so far had fallen short. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was hopeful a deal would be reached to avert a strike.
