OTTAWA — The federal government tabled a new contract offer to the Public Service Alliance of Canada Friday, as thousands of federal workers strike remain
Both the union and a spokeswoman for Treasury Board President Mona Fortier confirmed the offer, which is the first sign of any progress in the talks since the union said things were at a stalemate on Wednesday.
More than 100,000 members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada walked off the job April 19 after the union and government failed to reach new contract deals. “I have deep faith in collective bargaining as a process,” Trudeau said. “We know that our negotiators are putting forward serious offers.” In a tweet Friday morning, PSAC said it wants a raise that keeps up with inflation and insists the public sector hasn’t received a raise in line with inflation in more than 15 years.
A handful of workers in PSAC strike pinneys remained outside the doors of many federal office buildings, limiting entry to one person every five minutes. Jennifer Carr, president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada union, said that is a good start but it’s not good enough.
