The support we&#39;ve received so far in getting a strike mandate is just unbelievable! The CRA and Treasury Board are finally starting to understand the serious mistake they have made in dragging out negotiations unduly and showing a total lack of respect for our members. They are panicking and rightfully so! For the first time in its history, there might be a strike at the Agency in the middle of peak tax season. And they will only have themselves to blame.
