1:33 ‘Summer of discontent’: PSAC blasts Trudeau government for change to in-office mandate

RELATED: Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), the federal workers' union, criticized the government on Wednesday for changing its remote work mandate without consulting the union first. The government is calling for an increase to in-office shifts for public servants — and PSAC said if the mandate isn't withdrawn, 'the Trudeau Liberal government better prepare itself for a summer of discontent.' – May 8, 2024

The Federal Court has agreed to review the federal government’s decision to mandate public servants return to the office three days per week.

The mandate, which is set to begin on Sept. 9, was made by the federal government in May to the ire of the union tasked with representing the workers.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada took its concerns to the Federal Court, which agreed to hear the case in a decision released Thursday.
