More than 155,000 federal workers in Canada went on strike after wage talks with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government failed.
The labor disruption is expected to impede government functions including the release of economic data from Statistics Canada, passports and immigration applications. More than 35,000 of the workers are employed by the Canada Revenue Agency, the country’s tax-collection body. However, the government has said it doesn’t plan to extend the May 1 deadline for filing personal income taxes.
