The folks who print your paper money and set interest rates deploy scabs in violation of Canadian federal labour law.

PSAC pushes back on federal AI strategy
June 12, 2026

The federal government has unveiled its national strategy on artificial intelligence, committing over $2 billion in funding. But Prime Minister Carney’s strategy is silent on what workers actually need: guarantees AI won’t replace workers, surveillance protections, and public accountability.

“The department responsible for managing government buildings is looking to quickly find solutions…”

Well how about embracing the MANY PROVEN BENEFITS—THROUGH THE FURNACE OF COVID—OF ALL OR MOSTLY WORKING FROM HOME you reprehensible, disingenuous, cynical, immoral leaders and managers who are setting this toxic, planet-and-people-hurting, entirely politically motivated hollow agenda of blatant RTO lies?

You don't build national resiliency through neoliberal austerity and job cuts.

I stand with the public sector workers being forced back to office. There does not seem to be a reason for this. Office mandates are generally dumb.

As Israel continues its bombardment of #Gaza, which has resulted in a devastating number of civilian deaths, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers #CUPW, the Canadian Union of Public Employees #CUPE, the National Union of Public and General Employees #NUPGE, and the Public Service Alliance of Canada #PSAC are calling on the Canadian government to immediately suspend the trade of arms and military equipment with #Israel.

do not seem to understand the #Charter... or our #rights

Strikes are intended to inconven ience - certainly the employer and often the public... without that they have no impact.

Protests happen on streets....

@johnefrancis In another life, decades ago I was on a #PSAC union training program with some federal meat inspectors. This was back in the early 1980's when inspectors were on site inspecting on a daily basis. The beef inspectors never ate beef. the pork inspectors didn't eat pork and the chicken inspectors didn't eat chicken. None of them ate any kind of sausage. That was WITH neutral government inspection. It's no longer the case today.

well at least they got something concrete about working from home unlike most of the rest of the public service. (apparently - details are not public yet)
still feels demoralizing that the new deal is a "raise" below inflation. I guess it's the best any of us will be getting this time around. 😪​💰​ #psac #PSACstrike
I'm a CUPE member and a BC provincial employee by the way, so not directly my biz but probably affecting the climate of my union's current negotiations.

Canada Employment and Immigration Union, a component of #PSAC, just recommended to its members to vote NO to the tentative agreement. 100% agree, but I didn't expect that!

Public Servants Forced Federal Government to Improve Deal By Going on Strike, Labour Experts Say

“Workers do have power and can resist — you don’t have to just take whatever the employer says”

@Chigaze From what Mona Fortier said in her press conference.. nothing has changed for WFH. Still two days in the office minimum.
#PSAC

As a non #PSAC public sector worker I have to admit I'm a bit demoralized by the current offer and how none of us can ever catch up with inflation apparently. It's not even on the table. Even though my union #CUPE is still in the middle of negotiations the figures are even lower and the way it's set up they can not even ask for a higher amount unless all BC public sector workers go on a general strike.

PSAC says tentative agreement reached with Treasury Board | CityNews Toronto https://bit.ly/3oSalmN #PSAC #Strike #TreasuryBoard #CRA #cdnpoli @canadiangreens @cdnpoli

Public workers got a deal!

+12.6% wage increase (over 4 years), a one-time lump-sum payment, and specific language about remote work.

Now the CRA.
