Guest: Stephanie Levitz, federal politics reporter
Over 100,000 federal civil servants went on strike on April 19, impacting government services like passport offices, immigration support and the Canada Revenue Agency. The issues include higher wages, remote work, seniority rights and contract workers. A week later, there was motion in addressing some of these, but the union says it has “compromised” on its significant wage demand. Meanwhile, political leaders in Ottawa are using this strike as a way to speak to the labour vote and are walking a very fine line.
This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
