Our negotiating teams bargained late in Saturday night and (have) continued (Sunday) morning,” the union said in a release Sunday.
Talks involved the union’s Treasury Board unit, as well as the Canada Revenue Agency, the union said.
Talks are continuing, the union said.
Meanwhile, the federal government is urging leaders with the Public Service Alliance of Canada to let its members review the government’s latest offer, one it calls “fair, competitive and reasonable.”
In an open letter released Saturday, the Treasury Board Secretariat said its “final updated comprehensive offer” given to the union on Friday addressed all of PSAC’s remaining demands.
Specific details weren’t released, but TBS said the proposal includes more money.
“Along with the new wage package, we also presented solutions to address priorities such as telework, seniority, and contracting without impeding our ability to deliver services to Canadians,” the letter said.
“This is a fair, competitive and reasonable final offer, with wage and non-wage improvements, and we believe that employees should have an opportunity to review the details of it.”
Both sides said they will continue to negotiate through the weekend to try to reach a deal to end the national strike by 155,000 public servants, now in its 11th day.
The TBS offer, however, applies to approximately 120,000 members in the four bargaining groups under the purview of the Treasury Board. They include striking workers in the Program and Administrative Services, Operational Services, Technical Services, and Education and Library Science bargaining groups. It does not apply to workers with Canada Revenue Agency.
A PSAC spokesperson said Saturday afternoon the union would not immediately comment “out of respect for the bargaining process.”
The strike began on April 19.
