Charge Al-ArabiyaCanadian workers are demanding that the government provide decent wages with annual increases of 4.5 percent over the next three years to keep pace with inflation in their country.
In addition, they are also demanding safety and good working conditions by organizing more anti-racism training in their workplaces, as well as demanding provisions on remote work at the negotiating table.
