Within the next few weeks, a strike\u002Dvote period will be complete for over 155,0000 Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) members.
PSAC National President Chris Aylward said that while the union’s goal is not to go on strike but to come to an agreement with the feds, if they do choose to strike, there would be big disruptions to services done by workers.Photo by ERROL MCGIHONAhead of the vote, a series of agreements were signed with the federal government determining that over 100,000 PSAC members and 37,000 taxation union members would be allowed to strike, with the others deemed essential workers.
Shachi Kurl, president of the Angus Reid Institute for independent research, said a disruption of services would likely have impacts on public opinion, especially given the challenges people have faced in terms of immigration backlogs and accessing passport offices throughout the pandemic. “The longer the strike, the more immediate and forceful the impact is felt by the public in terms of access to services,” Martel said, noting that some services might be able to continue with the help of technology and essential workers during a strike. “I think that that may force many people in the population to think that the government’s term is near and that there is a need for change.”
Martel said he believes the opposition would be happy to return to an election, adding that they would likely blame the government for letting the situation get to the point where unionized workers felt compelled to strike.Martel said that, in the worst-case scenario, the government could challenge the union and invoke special legislation to force a back-to-work order.Article content
