Canadian union slams CRA moratorium on full-time job conversions

On 2026-04-08, the union representing Canada Revenue Agency public servants, UTE, criticized the CRA's extended moratorium on converting contract workers to permanent positions. The union said the two-year freeze has left thousands of term employees without a path to indeterminate status and is hurting recruitment and retention in the agency. The dispute is centered on Ottawa and concerns federal public service staffing policy.
