Thousands of striking public servants rallied on Parliament Hill Wednesday as their union accused the federal government of stalling in negotiations.
"We have moved off our wage demand," Public Service Alliance of Canada national president Chris Aylward told a news conference on Wednesday."The employer hasn't moved on their wage demand, and yet they're telling us that we're the ones that have to move. That's not how bargaining works."
Fortier said the government's proposal of a nine per cent wage increase over three years, which a third-party Public Interest Commission recommended, remains on the table. "The prime minister has one of two choices to make. He can either get involved personally and help settle this dispute, or he can turn his back on the workers who are striking," Aylward said."He's the one who can help settle this dispute."
"We are committed to delivering a fair deal that recognizes the valuable contributions that public servants make every day," she said. "Yes, it's frustrating to know that Canadians may, as the days come, have more difficulty accessing services. But that's a motivator for everyone to try and resolve this."
