PSAC strike: Treasury Board says it ‘wasn’t easy’ to reach deal with union to end job action

Treasury Board President Mona Fortier held an update on Monday after the government reached a tentative agreement with the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), putting an end to a strike that had lasted about two weeks involving more than 120,000 public servants. “This wasn’t easy. We negotiated, we compromised, and we found creative solutions,” Fortier said.
