Striking public servants are consolidating their picketing efforts on Parliament Hill Wednesday as job action reaches its eighth straight day.
More than 150,000 workers with the Public Service Alliance of Canada are on strike as their union representatives continue to negotiate with the government for a bigger wage increase and more flexibility to work remotely.
Alex Silas, PSAC's regional executive vice-president for the National Capital Region, said the union is calling on all members and its allies across the labour movement to join them on the Hill on Wednesday. The rally comes as the union escalates its strike activities, even as talks continue with the federal government in an effort to reach a deal.
