The area representative for the Public Service Alliance of Canada says they’re not celebrating any victories until every employee is offered a fair deal.
Chris Di Liberatore, Regional Executive Vice-President Atlantic for PSAC, addressed hundreds of workers at a May Day rally in downtown St. John’s on Monday. While they’re pleased to see a tentative deal reached for most workers, there will be no celebrations until an agreement is reached with the nearly 35,000 CRA workers still on the picket line.
“We’re going to stand up and continue to fight alongside them,” said Di Liberatore. PSAC has been negotiating a collective agreement for the past two years. He says Ottawa has to step up and raise the bar because the way they treat federal workers will ultimately spill over into other sectors.He says there is no celebration until the additional 35,000 PSAC workers on strike also have a fair deal.
