Canadians are being told to expect some federal services will be delayed or cancelled as 155,000 federal workers begin strike action.
Talkts between the Public Service Alliance of Canada and the federal government failed to produce an agreement Tuesday night. Canada's largest federal public-service union announced the general strike by workers with Treasury Board and the Canada Revenue Agency after a deal was not reached.
A strike will affect many federal services, including tax processing, passport renewals, Employment Insurance, Social Insurance and Canada Pension Plan applications and services with Indigenous Services Canada and Veterans Affairs Canada.
"As a result of the labour action, Canadians should expect that some services of the Government of Canada will be delayed or unavailable," the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat said in a statement Wednesday night.
The government warns the public "may have trouble accessing some Government of Canada buildings where services are delivered" during the strike.
The federal government has released details on how a strike will affect services to Canadians.
