CRA strike ends after union reaches tentative deal with Ottawa
CRA employees represented by PSAC’s Union of Taxation Employees were still on strike two days after the federal tax-filing deadline.In a statement
, PSAC said the tentative deal includes wage increases totalling 12.6 per cent compounded over the life of the agreement from 2021-2024, as well as an additional fourth year in the agreement that protects workers from inflation. The tentative agreement also includes a pensionable $2,500 one-time lump sum payment that represents an additional 3.6 per cent of salary for the average member.
The union threatened earlier Wednesday that it would plan to send its members to disrupt a Liberal party convention in Ottawa on Thursday if the employer didn’t table a “fair” deal. The separate agreements that PSAC negotiated with the government included a 11.5 per cent wage increase over four years.
Earlier in the negotiations, the tax employees’ union had been pushing for a 20.5 per cent increase over a three-year period.
