The Canadian government is actively addressing labor disputes involving federal employees and railway workers. Union executives from PSAC_afpc protested a directive from Anita Anand, limiting telework to a minimum of three days in-office, which was a significant issue during the 2023 strike, leading to feelings of betrayal among workers. Concurrently, Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan has requested the federal labor body to evaluate if railways, specifically Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), should operate at limited capacity during potential strikes or lockouts. This request aligns with efforts to delay the start of any possible strikes following the conclusion of a cooling-off period post-mediation talks.
