Title: End of Strike by Some Canadian Public Sector Workers After Agreement with Government

The "Canadian Public Service Alliance," representing 120,000 federal workers, announced that it "reached an agreement with the Canadian government on new wage rules on Monday, ending the largest strike in the public sector in the country." The strike caused disruptions at several agencies, including the tax and immigration departments. The alliance confirmed in a statement that "the 120,000 Treasury Board employees are set to return to work, but it expected that the over 35,000 workers at the Canada Revenue Agency will continue their strike, ongoing since April 19, on Monday." It indicated that "the strike continues nationwide for 35,000 workers at the Canada Revenue Agency," revealing that "talks will resume with a new mandate to reach a fair agreement." The alliance had increased its pressure on the government last month by calling for the rare, large-scale strike. The staff shortages resulting from the strike led to delays or disruptions in services at twenty government agencies.
