Canada Revenue Agency reaches tentative deal with PSAC's Union of Taxation Employees

Ottawa/IBNS: A tentative four-year deal was reached last night between the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and more than 35,000 Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC)'s Union of Taxation Employees (UTE) members ending a second strike of federal public servants just after the tax season wrapped up.


According to two separate Thursday morning news releases of CRA and PSAC's UTE, the four-year deal requires the workers to report back to their jobs by 11:30 a.m. ET Thursday.

UTE workers, including about 120,000 other PSAC workers across about 30 government departments and agencies -- had been without a deal since 2021 -- went on strike April 19.

In a statement, PSAC said the tentative deal includes wage increases totalling 12.6 percent compounded over the life of the agreement from 2021-2024, as well as an additional fourth year in the agreement that protects workers from inflation including a pensionable $2,500 one-time lump sum payment that represents an additional 3.6 per cent of salary for the average member.

According to CRA's news release, a tentative settlement on telework outside of the collective agreement was reached between CRA and PSAC with both agreeing to review the directive on virtual work arrangements, and to create a panel to advise the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner regarding employee concerns.

When asked on Wednesday if there would be disruptions in the federal Liberals' convention set to run from May 4-6 at the Shaw Centre in downtown Ottawa, Chris Aylward, PSAC national president was reported saying that in the absence of any progress in negotiations, striking workers would be present.
