Ottawa, Ontario
Canada Revenue Agency
Today, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and the Public Service Alliance of Canada - Union of Taxation Employees (PSAC-UTE) entered mediated negotiations with the goal of reaching a fair collective agreement. Unfortunately, if an agreement cannot be reached by tomorrow night, the PSAC-UTE has announced that they will begin strike action on Wednesday, April 19, 2023.
The CRA remains committed to reaching an agreement at the bargaining table that is fair to employees and reasonable for taxpayers.
There is still time to reach an agreement before strike action begins. We are confident that the parties can find enough common ground to reach consensus on a renewed collective agreement for our employees.
The CRA values the important role its employees from across the country play in delivering services to Canadians. The CRA respects the collective bargaining process and remains committed to pursuing meaningful negotiations with the PSAC-UTE towards a reasonable solution.
