CANADA'S largest union reached a tentative agreement with the government on Monday for more than 120,000 public servants after nearly two years of bargaining and 12 days of strikes.
Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) secured a four-year deal for administrative, maintenance and port workers at Canada’s immigration services and other government agencies, including the fire service.
The union said the deal secured a fair contract for members that exceeds the employer’s original offer before the launch of strike action.
