Union Escalates Fight Against CRA Job Cuts with Nationwide Campaign

                    The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) national headquarters in Ottawa on June 28, 2024.

The Union of Taxation Employees (UTE) has launched the second phase of its “Canada on Hold” campaign, intensifying opposition to widespread staffing cuts at the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Initially focused on call centre layoffs, the campaign now highlights job losses across the agency, with union president Marc Brière warning that nearly 10,000 positions have been eliminated since May 2024. The UTE argues the cuts are undermining service to taxpayers and businesses, leading to longer wait times and reduced support.

The union plans a rally outside the Prime Minister’s Office on Friday, urging the federal government to reinvest in CRA staffing. The escalation comes after Finance Minister François‑Philippe Champagne gave the agency 100 days to address call centre delays, even as Ottawa pursues broader public service spending reductions.
