The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) has set a deadline of 9 o'clock ET tonight to reach a contract agreement, and if it is not met, over 155-thousand federal public servants will walk off the job Wednesday. Those workers are under the Canada Revenue Agency and the Treasury Board of each province and territory.
The PSAC says its members are prepared to strike for meaningful wage increases and for provisions dealing with remote work.
If this strike does happen, you could see temporary delays with things like getting your income tax claims and benefits processed, employment insurance, immigration services, and passport applications.
The Treasury Board says it offered the union a nine-per-cent raise over three years on Sunday but the union is seeking a 4.5 percent increase each year for three years.
