The union representing tens of thousands of striking federal government workers said it had compromised on its wage demand but refused to offer more details, as one of the largest strikes in Canadian history carried into its eighth day.
“We have moved off our [earlier] wage demands, but yet the employer hasn’t moved on their wage demands and yet are telling us that we’re the ones that have to move,” Chris Aylward, national president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada , told reporters on Parliament Hill Wednesday.
Last Wednesday, tens of thousands of Treasury Board employees from numerous federal departments and agencies walked off the job, alongside more than 35,000 Canada Revenue Agency workers, who are represented by an arm of PSAC known as the Union of Taxation Employees. Mona Fortier, president of the Treasury Board and the Liberal MP for Ottawa—Vanier, said she was “frustrated” by the union’s “unreasonable and unaffordable” wage demand.
