Canadian diplomats in Africa strike during Governor-General’s visit
Foreign service officers at four of Canada’s missions in Africa refused to show up for work Monday morning to protest a lack of progress on labour negotiations with the government of Canada.
Political staff and trade officers at Canada’s missions in Kenya, Ghana, South Africa and Zimbabwe are staying home or volunteering elsewhere and refusing to respond to work-related e-mails and phone calls. They were joined by the Africa bureau staff at the Department of Foreign Affairs headquarters in Ottawa and immigration officers in Mexico City.
