Tuesday was supposed to be the first day of travel document processing in Prince George
With no pending settlement in sight, the Public Service Alliance Canada general strike that resulted in one-third of Canada’s civil workforce walking off the job on Wednesday will almost certainly delay next week’s scheduled opening of a passport office in Prince George.
“A public sector strike is currently affecting passport offices across the country, which also impacts the opening date of the Prince George 10-day service site,” said Philippe-Alexandre Langlois, press secretary for the Ministry of Families, Children and Social Development. “However, I can assure you that once the strike is over and services resume, passport services will be available in Prince George.
Service Canada centres have been reduced to essential staff who will help clients in need of social insurance, employment insurance, Canada Pension Plan and old age security. Some offices will provide emergency passport service. PSAC is seeking a 13.5 per cent raise over three years for all Treasury Board employees. The PSAC-Union of Taxation Employees, which represents CRA employees, wants a 4.5 per cent raise effective Nov. 1, 2021, and an eight per cent raise in 2022 and 2023.
