Senjuti Sarker needed to renew her passport for an upcoming trip to Europe but her attempt at doing so failed Wednesday after federal public service workers went on strike.
Sarker, who was hoping to travel next week to attend an artistic program, said the labour disruption could completely upend her plans.
Employment and Social Development Canada has said essential services such as employment insurance and social insurance numbers will be maintained, but passport services are not deemed essential. "There was no line and no wait," she said of her experience, adding that she supported the strike by Public Service Alliance of Canada workers.
