Canada’s largest federal public sector union has voted in favour of a strike mandate.

Wednesday, leaders of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) said its 120,000 members were now in striking position after a nearly two month voting period came to an end.

The Government of Canada issued a statement saying that it is their goal to reach an agreement at the bargaining table and both parties had agreed to mediated negotiations which continue this week. From the government’s standpoint, they made significant headway in the past week in addressing many of the union’s demands.

CRA union members also approved a strike vote last week, meaning that 155,000 public servants are now able to go on strike with 72-hour notice.

The Government says if there are impacts to services information can be found online so Canadians will know what may affect them.
