The federal government offered to do a joint review of its return-to-office orders for civil servants but hasn’t budged on its latest wage offer, as a strike of the government’s largest public-sector union continued for a sixth day Monday.

Treasury Board President Mona Fortier sent an open letter to public servants and Canadians Monday afternoon identifying four main areas of disagreement that remain between the government and the Public Service Alliance of Canada: wages, teleworking, outsourcing contracts and seniority rules in the event of a layoff.
