Federal public service workers and allies will gather outside the Federal Building in Victoria for a rally calling on the government to take the measures necessary to ensure public service workers are paid correctly and on time.
Colleen Girard, with the Public Service Alliance of Canada BC Regional Council and local president says they are calling on the government to take the necessary measures to fix the Phoenix pay system for good.
The gathering is scheduled Wednesday (12:15-12:45pm) at the Federal Building on Government Street.
The Phoenix payroll system used by the federal government has been riddled with problems since it was rolled out in early 2016.
Tens of thousands of workers have been under-paid, paid late, or in some cases not paid at all.
