As more than 120,000 federal public servants across the country prepare for a potential strike, their union is asking for non-wage benefits such as employer contributions to its Social Justice Fund, mandatory diversity and inclusion training, and shift premiums for working past 4 p.m.

On April 12, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) announced that its members had voted “overwhelmingly” in favour of a strike mandate in nationwide strike votes that took place from Feb. 22 to April 11.
