Bank of Canada Staff Work from Home Amid Security Officer Strike

Staff at the Bank of Canada have been working from home during a security officer strike that began on June 23, affecting operations in Ottawa and Montreal. The dispute between the bank's security staff and the union has led to some critical and time-sensitive operations being moved to Toronto. According to the Bank of Canada, head office staff not performing onsite operations were allowed to work remotely. This arrangement was made after a group of 49 security officers went on strike in Ottawa and Montreal.

The dispute between the bank's security staff and the union has led to some critical and time-sensitive operations being moved to Toronto. The Bank of Canada confirmed that its Montreal facility had been closed due to the strike, with operations transferred to Toronto instead. The Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) has twice ordered the Bank of Canada to stop using replacement workers to perform striking officers' work.
