The unions representing 155,000 federal employees currently on strike across the country need to “get back to the bargaining table” in order to avoid further public service disruptions, says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“We need both management and labour to get back to the bargaining table as soon as possible and continue to make progress,” Trudeau told reporters in Ottawa on April 19.
