The federal public-sector union strike has officially come to an end with a tentative deal between the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and the federal government.
Canada Revenue Agency employees, who are represented by PSAC, have been told to return to work today by 10:30 Central at the latest.
Negotiators for the Union of Taxation Employees, an arm of PSAC, came to terms on an agreement that will see them get wage increases totalling 12.6 per cent for the years 2021 through 2024 as well as an additional fourth year to help protect workers from inflation.
The tentative agreement also includes a pensionable 25-hundred-dollar one-time lump sum payment.
The CRA says both sides agreed to undertake a review of virtual work arrangements as well.
