The strike will affect Canadian Forces bases in Kingston, Ont., Montreal, Ottawa, and other cities.

The union says employees in the Non-Public Funds agency are paid significantly less than workers doing similar jobs in the core federal public service, and they have been without a contract since 2022.

The workers deliver food, recreation, community and financial planning services to military members and veterans.
