CFA calls on Ottawa to implement contingency plan

Farm organizations across the country continue to raise concern about the potential impact the PSAC strike could have on the Ag sector.

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture sent a letter to the Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau last week asking the government to take urgent measures to ensure adequate contingencies are in place ( such as an Essential Service Agreement  ) that would ensure any strike action would not unduly impact the movement of agriculture products and that all programs continue to be delivered uninterrupted.

Today is day six of the Public Service Alliance of Canada strike, the main issues focus on salary increases and working remotely.
