Jagmeet Singh is calling on the Liberals to go back to the table with a decent offer for federal public service workers « Canada’s NDP

April 12, 2023 at 3:30 am  Federal, Politics

Canada’s NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh made the following statement regarding the news of workers at Treasury board supporting a strike mandate:

“We stand in solidarity with the 120000 Treasury Board workers who overwhelmingly voted for a strike mandate.

Workers at the Treasury Board have been without a contract for more than a year while the cost of living soars.

Workers at the Canada Revenue Agency voted for a strike mandate last week. If the parties don’t reach an agreement, Treasury board workers could be on strike right away and could be joined by the 35000 workers from the Revenue Agency as soon as Friday.

It is frustrating to see Trudeau’s Liberals being okay with CEOs like Galen Weston being paid $11,79 million, but not okay with federal public service workers getting a decent wage offer that keeps up with inflation and recognizes people’s hard work during the pandemic.

It’s time for the Liberals to return to the negotiation table with a decent offer. Public service workers and Canadians deserve nothing less.”
