Ottawa/CMEDIA: Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says it does not plan to extend tax deadlines although bargaining groups representing public servants, including the represented employees of the Agency, are in a legal strike position.
The union has been asking for a 4.5 percent raise effective Nov. 1, 2021, and an 8 percent raise in both 2022 and 2023.
Last Friday, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and the Union of Taxation Employees announced that 35,000 CRA employees will be in a legal strike position as of April 14 if no deal is reached.
PSAC announced a strike mandate for all other federal civil servants this Wednesday, affecting more than 120,000 employees although CRA and PSAC are set to have a final round of negotiations from April 17 to 20.
