Bank of Canada Strike Vote 2026
June 3 to 4, 2026
Conciliation has ended with the Employer, and we are still at impasse. Despite the rising cost of living the employer has not offered wages that keep up with inflation or reflect the hard work and responsibilities carried out by the members of Local 71250.
To encourage the employer to return to the bargaining table with a fair mandate that respects members’ work, strike votes are being held.
A successful strike vote does not necessarily mean we will automatically go on strike.
The Bank of Canada won’t budge unless we apply organized pressure. That’s why PSAC National President Sharon DeSousa has authorized a strike vote.
A strike mandate will give the PSAC bargaining teams the leverage they need to encourage to the Employer to come back to the table with a fair offer that keeps up with inflation and respects the work that you do everyday.
Strike vote information:
All strike votes will be held virtually for each bargaining unit, Ottawa and Montreal.
Each voting session will also include a mandatory information session where all questions can be addressed.
You must register in advance.
