Canadian media is out of step with public on PSAC strike
·
It’s quite remarkable that despite the corporate media onslaught of the past week against striking federal civil servants, the Canadian public appears to be broadly on board with their union’s demands. According to an April 21 Angus Reid poll, taken in the two days after 120,000 Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) workers walked off the job, about two-thirds of Canadians support the union’s ask for premium overtime pay. It’s shocking that unionized public servants don’t already have this.
