Nearly a third of Canada's federal workers walked off the job Wednesday morning in one of the largest strikes in the country's history.

Nearly a third of Canada’s federal workers walked off the job Wednesday morning in one of the largest strikes in the country’s history. The union representing more than 155,000 government employees says it called the nationwide strike to demand higher pay and clarity on work from home provisions, among other issues. Canadians can expect disruptions on a variety of services, including passport applications and tax returns. Essential services will remain in place.

” Canadian government officials responded with a statement late Tuesday saying they had a fair and competitive offer on the table that includes a 9% wage increase over three years, as well as proposals on remote work and improved family leave. But the government claimed that union demands are ‘unaffordable’ and would compromise the government’s ability to deliver services to Canadians.

Another proof Socialism doesn't work. They must stop voting Liberal or NDP.

The Canadian government seems that they have to pay the rich people money to keep their businesses going in Canada

It's not so great of a place to live Canada you pay a lot of taxes and you earn little as possible they take full advantage of you

Yeah it's pretty bad they make good money up in the federal government still can't afford anything so you know what the people that make an honest living in a factory can't even drive to work they don't have enough money for gas after paying their house bills in the grocery bills

Government employees really should not be allowed to strike, or frankly unionize. And if this is true, I really have no sympathy for them.
