@malta75616353 @psac_afpc Something can be worthy of fighting for even if it doesn't directly affect you don't you think? The demand only applies in certain situations

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@AdamMit46744465 @MelissaCoenraad @psac_afpc @OPSEU The April 26th pay date is for work done 2-4 weeks ago. They deserve to get paid for time worked don't you think?

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@AdamMit46744465 @MelissaCoenraad @psac_afpc @OPSEU Yes, because they are paid in arrears, like almost every job out there. Every strike day is entered Leave Without Pay, and won't be paid out. IF they are paid for a strike day it will 100% be clawed back. You're welcome.

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@malta75616353 @psac_afpc Figherfighters and cleaners at military bases don't work from home... neither does anyone who works at a Service Canada Centre. Who do you think prints and mails your passport? Many psac workers do not and cannot possibly work remotely

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@KellyMc1970 @CPAC_TV Obviously you don't need a passport or are dealing with an immigration case

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@malta75616353 @psac_afpc Do you know what PSAC employees do?

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@AdamMit46744465 @MelissaCoenraad @psac_afpc @OPSEU They aren't getting paid for days on strike.. strike pay only

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@april64caca @JustinTrudeau @psac_afpc They are getting paid for work already done. Two weeks in arrears, like almost every job out there...

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@CaseyHo46088134 @mrjames2012 @Ottawalabour @psac_afpc No, they aren't. They aren't paid by the employer for the time they are on strike

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@westcoastisbest Passports can be renewed one year from the date of expiry. If there were travel plans for this summer it wasn't very clever to wait until the last minute regardless of an impending strike

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@chicago_canada @psac_afpc Except people who need to travel.. or are dealing with immigration..

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@AdolfJinping @TheFreedomHoney @Divebutt @psac_afpc Obviously the 155,000 isn't all passport.... you know that CRA and IRCC are part of that, and civilian military base workers

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@GregSheaWorkBee @psac_afpc Obviously you don't need to travel or deal with an immigration case

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@Albertan_1905 @AngelBurnsBrite @psac_afpc The strike has been going on for less than a week, how has this ruined vacation plans for the year?

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@Annbob31 @psac_afpc Passport and immigration applications cannot be reviewed digitally. You still need real people for some very important jobs

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@Jbendben @JustinTrudeau Thousands of passports get processed every day. A handful of managers obviously cannot preform all of that work.. passports require the examination of each application by hand

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@AdolfJinping @TheFreedomHoney @Divebutt @psac_afpc Have you tried getting a passport or immigration document? This strike is affecting individual Canadians

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@DeirdraKosterm1 @theJagmeetSingh @psac_afpc Most of the striking workers are not CRA, it takes real people to fight fires, clean military bases, and process passports, for example

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@IslandG68443406 Do you know what is considered "essential" in passports? Humanitarian aid. That's it. No government workers means you can't travel anywhere for business or pleasure. Ever.

[Andrea Saint-Pierre @asptextiles]

@MadLadMarcin @DShepYEG @psac_afpc Strike pay is not funded by the taxpayers, it comes from the union dues the employees pay into with every paycheque
