Canada’s largest public service union announced yesterday, Tuesday, April 18, that it will be going on strike at midnight.
More than 155,000 workers at the Canada Revenue Agency and the Treasury Board will hit the picket line today as part of their push for better pay and flexibility around remote work.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) is still hoping for a ‘fair deal.’
Employees with the Canada Revenue Agency are going on strike just two weeks before the tax deadline.
The CRA said access to online services will remain available during the strike, but there may be increased wait times for call centres. Delays are also possible for processing income tax and benefit returns – particularly those filed by paper.
A licensed insolvency trustee suggests filing online, but if you need to use mail, be sure to keep copies of everything.
