TL;DR Summary

Canada has reached a deal with 120,000 striking federal workers, ending one of the largest public-sector work stoppages in the country's history. However, 35,000 employees at the Canada Revenue Agency remain on strike, demanding better pay and telework flexibility. The Public Service Alliance of Canada union said it had secured a 12.6% wage increase over the four-year contract period and new protections for teleworking. The remaining striking workers are seeking language in their collective agreement to allow for telework arrangements, pay that addresses cost of living and inflationary pressures, and more job safety provisions.
