They did not work for 8 days. That is a blip. Why would that take till the end of summer (which has not even started yet) to catch up?

Any updates for anyone from NGF? I had my test completed marked on March 15. Still waiting for LPP.

I doubt it. The union agreed to this deal. They will convince the members to go for this deal, since they will look weak if their members say no to a deal they tentatively accepted. I understand the workers feeling let down, but the likelihood of the union going back to strike is very low. They...

You can go to Reddit and look into r/Canadapublicservants. There are 1000s of comments, but you will get a good idea of what is going on.

Well...looks like the plans for strike are still on for Monday (Source: Reddit forum).

A new counter offer has been made by TB. Hoping it would be a good one. Fingers crossed!

Any particular reason you felt it could take a long time (i.e., particularly after this visit)?

There is a max tax credit of $500 if rem correctly.

If not this, they will have to reign in the anger from general public. Unless people decide to suck it up and bear with the inconveniences without much protest. This strike was totally avoidable. The gov had two years to reach a deal. It is their incompetence and apathy that brought about this...

Some essential workers are complaining (saw in the Reddit forum) that they are denied entry to their office buildings by the protestors. When told that it is illegal, the strikers apparently said go ahead and call the cops. Management sent the essential workers home and are figuring out what to...

Are background checks repeated after a year (if the application is not complete by then)? I still am waiting for LPP to be completed. My BC was completed on Nov 30. Does this mean that if my LPP is not complete before Nov 30 this year, will my background check need to be done again? If yes, this...

Oh they are aware. But there is a very negative outlook towards scabbing. They get isolated by their peers later on (if colleagues come to know of this). So many would try to avoid it as much as they can. However, if the strike doesn't end in a few days, most will have to return to work at least...

Not just that...TB only has mandate to go till 9%. Anything above that needs to be approved by PM, I guess? That is what I understood from today's press meet. So the ball is in his court now. He can't use Mona as a scapegoat anymore.

Will probably say they are in this for "as long as it takes".

Any information on how many IRCC employees are PSAC members? In the Reddit forum, many public workers were discussing how their absence did not seem to have affected work in their teams/divisions (work got delegated to those who are not striking). Looks like things have not come to a standstill...

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-psac-federal-workers-strike-salaries/ Just saw this. Can't access the full article though. If someone can, please share details.

Oh wow..they started canceling scheduled events two days in advance.

Roughly six days, with only three more remaining now. They can turn to other unions for financial help, but not sure if those contributions would be sufficient to drag the strike on for more than a few days. Treasury is using delay tactics and waiting to see when the union would fold. The union...

Hmm...this presents a complicated political scenario as well. Public will be angry if the service interruptions are not back soon. The only way that is possible is a back-to-work legislation or getting the deal done (which is moving slowly right now, considering the implications). NDP said it...
