Ottawa: Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Prime Minister Stephen Harper: The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers PAFSO created a picket line outside of the Prime Minister's Office, across the street from Parliament Hill, during lunch hour, according to CBC. Peter Bundy, a diplomat who was posted in Colombia and now works in Ottawa, said PAFSO has made an effort to bargain in good faith and Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office in Ottawa was the target of a protest today by striking foreign service officers who are battling with the government to get a pay raise. The striking diplomats carried signs that read "Same work equals same pay" and "Canada's Frontline Abroad" while blowing whistles and using other noisemakers. A spokeswoman for Harper would not say whether the prime minister was in his office or not. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
