Contract negotiations between the Canadian federal government and the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) are resuming next week, marking a new phase in talks that affect over 120,000 public servants across the country. The union is pushing for improved wages, job security, and stronger remote work protections—key issues that fueled the nationwide strike in 2023. While PSAC says it's ready to negotiate in earnest, government officials maintain they will bargain in good faith but remain cautious about major changes, particularly around remote work and workforce size.
