Strikers hope the impasse will be resolved over the weekend
On the third day of a nation-wide strike by federal public-sector workers, spirits remained high on capital region picket lines, but some worried about the lack of news from the bargaining table in Ottawa.
“We kind of feel like we’re being kept in the dark,” said Russell. “They don’t want to share the details with us of where they have made headway, and where they haven’t, so people are starting to feel a bit of stress now.” “They just want to get back to serving Canadians every day like they normally do,” said Martin. “There is a little bit of nervous anticipation, but the mood on the line is invigorated and focused on getting a fair contract.”
News of disruptions have raised concerns that taxpayers already facing risings costs will be saddled with paying for wage increases to federal public servants. A Royal Roads business professor cautions that the notion that only public-sector wage hikes — not private-sector ones — represent a cost to taxpayers is misguided, since in the end, consumers pay for most increases, public or private sector.
