The head of the union representing thousands of striking public-service workers called on the Prime Minister to get involved in negotiations on Saturday as he decried the slow pace of talks with the federal Treasury Board.
Chris Aylward, national president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, said the union presented a package of proposals on Thursday, but the union had yet to receive a response by Saturday afternoon.
Aylward said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should take a role in the negotiations and exert his influence to ensure the talks progress more quickly. On Thursday, the federal labour board issued a decision saying there was "significant concern" about the recent strike vote because of a low turnout and irregularities. The board found the union failed to properly alert members that it had shortened the voting period by eight days, moving the deadline from April 19 to April 11.
Union members received notice of a strike vote via email on Jan. 23, and voting began on Feb. 22. But the decision shows the union did not have the correct email addresses for 15,000 members.
