Tim Edwards: Canadian Embassies

Professional Association Of Foreign Service Officers Dept: It is not yet a move to picket outside Canadian embassies around the world, but that could happen within a week if the government refuses to resume talks, said Tim Edwards, president of the Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers, according to Globe and Mail. Members of the union who work in Ottawa will conduct the pickets. Mr. Edwards says they ll expand the information picketing to other Foreign Affairs and Citizenship and Immigration sites unless government negotiators come back to the talks within the next week or so probably targeting big embassies like those in Washington, London and Paris, as they did on a small scale during a labour dispute in 2001 and Video: Diplomat died doing what she loved, says her dad The unusual job action by a small union is already showing an undiplomatic image: foreign service officers on a work-to-rule campaign are being encouraged to wear creative attire such as hockey jerseys to desks in the Lester B. Pearson building, their HQ. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
