OTTAWA — The union representing thousands of striking public-service workers says it plans to provide an update today on the status of negotiations with the federal government.

Members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada walked off the job Wednesday as contract talks broke down.

The union says almost a third of all federal public servants are involved in the job action. 

The workers are calling for wage increases and improvements to working conditions, as well as the option for remote work.

The union’s national president, Chris Aylward, is expected to speak to the media this afternoon.
