Roughly 2,000 workers in northern Sask. could be affected by PSAC strike
Around 2,000 federal workers in northern Saskatchewan could be on the picket line as early as Wednesday.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) issued a strike mandate last week and on Monday said if a new deal could not be reached by Tuesday night at 9 EDT, workers would go on strike as of Wednesday morning.
In total, some 155,000 employees are prepared to walk off the job, including 35,000 workers from Canada Revenue Agency.
That includes roughly 4,000 workers in Saskatchewan, with almost half in the northern region of the province.
