CHC Chandigarh--------------- Fall'13 Applicants

[Jaspreetsaini]

OTTAWA - Visa processing and diplomatic staff won't feel any financial pinch during their partial strike in Canada and abroad.

The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO) will give 100% strike pay to all its members now off the job at 15 visa processing centres around the world and also refusing to help federal ministers with international travel.

"We are quite prepared to take this deep into the fall if necessary," PAFSO president Tim Edwards said.

With a partial strike, the union will deplete its strike pay fund more slowly than during a full stoppage.

Meanwhile, strikers with an average yearly salary of $86,000 can still get thousands of dollars in other help from taxpayers, like housing allowances or kids' educational expense coverage.

The latest work stoppage is another step in the long-running campaign by embassy and consulate staff for "equal pay" with others doing comparable work.

Edwards said what the strikers "will not stand for is looking at somebody working in the neighbouring office making up to $14,000 more than them."

The union predicts Canada's economy will suffer because tourist, student and other visas won't be processed.

"We're talking about a potential impact ... maybe over $2 billion," Edwards said.

The government insists other employees and temp workers are picking up the slack in visa processing.

PAFSO wants the dispute settled by binding arbitration, but the feds won't accept comparing foreign service officers' work to others.

"These jobs are substantively different from public service lawyers, economists or commerce officers," said a spokesman for Treasury Board President Tony Clement.

Again, Clement wasn't speaking directly to #dipstrike, but rather "Red Tape Reduction Action Plan." #cdnpoli

Citizen Emigration Canada told Khaleej Times more than 1000 local staff would continue to work in visa offices and the CIC had hired additional temporary staff to process visas around the world.

In such short period of time , Nothing is possible expect PAFSO to get back on work and process applications. Canadian government can legislate a law against strike and force VO's to continue work but only in September because Candian parliament is closed until September for holiday's. Only in the case of war and internal security threat all the member of parliaments can unite in holiday's. So PAFSO has picked up the right time to Strike but failed to make pressure on government. Canada is filthy rich country they don't care about the lose.

Add this buddy

“CIC is providing training on an urgent basis so that more staff can process applications, and is requesting that staff work overtime where possible. CIC is also shifting more work to Canada and to overseas offices”.
