A tentative deal has been reached between the Public Service Alliance of Canada and the Treasury Board.
The agreement was announced early Monday morning and impacts over 120,000 federal government workers. According to the union, the four-year deal includes wage increases totalling over 12 per cent, as well as significant new protections around remote work and contracting out.
Public servants hit picket lines at locations across the country beginning April 19th in what the union said was one of the biggest job actions in Canadian history. Service disruptions loomed large during the job action, from slowdowns at the border to pauses on new employment insurance, immigration and passport applications.
While that is a positive development, the strike is not over for members of the Canada Revenue Agency.
The union says negotiations for the unit representing 35,000 CRA workers continues.
