Buddy’s a duster
You want Justin Trudeau to personally get involved and propose and enact a mutually satisfying and fair resolution? Don’t hold your breath.
His solution would be to move all those jobs to Quebec…

@concars1234 I’m embarrassed for you
I wish I could work in my pj’s
Let your members vote on the current proposal…and this time make sure it’s more than 30% of members who vote.
Trudeau is off to NY to discuss climate lockdowns. I can’t believe I voted for him never again
I can’t believe you voted for him either. But the damage you and millions of others did is done. You can’t learn from that kind of mistake. The consequences are massive and you will reap what you sow, voter.
I’m not impressed by their wages, but do have some decent benefits. But there are transit operators making much more with more benefits and flexible ones at that. but that’s like comparing apples to oranges.
Yea, transit workers would never go on strike to be able to work from home.
Transit workers actually have to get up and get to work—they provide face-to-face services. And they get physical abuse from fucked up transit riders as well. Many government workers have been working from home answering phone calls.
@Wei Lyes, the pass couple of years they been working from home..they need to change their attitude when answering the phone call very rude
“The other would grant employees who self-identify as Indigenous, and who have worked for the public service for three consecutive months, up to five days of paid leave to engage in traditional practices such as hunting, fishing and harvesting.”
I mean, c’mon…
This hardly seems unreasonable. Frankly, all Canadians – not just public servants – deserve greater allotments of paid leave.
CHRIS – please address how the Workers Compensation Board will deal with the flooding of law suits or ‘workplace injuries’ incurred by your members working from home.
Look at this guy, looks like we got a reporter in chat asking some pretty pointed questions. I hope he sees this! /s
Raise one thing but all the luxuries you want for being office workers doesn’t jive with me.
Being a former office worker, there are only two reasons to be in an office in this day and age. Meetings face to face, and your boss to feel powerful.
union execs are the ones out of touch with the workers: are they taking a pay cut from their 6-figure salaries? They think isolated telework is a unifying workplace arrangement? Pee Sack already turned its back on its workers when it failed to stand up to the mandates for its workers who were working in isolation at the time, and will continue to work telework for the next year. Time for the union members to get to work like they want to do. The union exec can walk the lines. Are these execs hoping for one of trudeau’s hand greasing??? methinks so
Maybe Trudeau will invoke the emergencies act…..
Lmao
lolllllll
Just don’t bring the bouncy castles and hot tubs. PM Trudeau will get so scared and he will invoke the Emergency Act.
I wish this could become a general strike. No one is happy with wages, living expenses and inflation in this country. We should all be out there. 80k a year is hardly enough to live nowadays.
100k just barely surviving.
Waterloo/Kitchener (GRT) Transit seems to be joining the strike starting on May 1st. The general strike begins.
Next week they should offer 8% and the week after that 6%.
On August 5, 1981, President Ronald Reagan begins firing 11,359 air-traffic controllers striking in violation of his order for them to return to work. The executive action, regarded as extreme by many, significantly slowed air travel for months.
Two days earlier, on August 3, almost 13,000 air-traffic controllers went on strike after negotiations with the federal government to raise their pay and shorten their workweek proved fruitless. The controllers complained of difficult working conditions and a lack of recognition of the pressures they face. Across the country, some 7,000 flights were canceled. The same day, President Reagan called the strike illegal and threatened to fire any controller who had not returned to work within 48 hours.
I encourage you all to go visit and bring food to the Federal Services Workers ON STRIKE. Now is the time to CHAT and CONNECT!!!!❤❤❤
Um no, we all have jobs to go to and families to look after
9% over 3 years is nothing. Especially when you consider that there has been no inflation pay increases since 2021 because they refused to negotiate. 9% is an insult
@Cary Francis and?
@duke605 So why should you? And apparently that’s not even enough for you anyway.
9% is only the pay increase.
You have to account for all the other benefits/extra vacation time/$17.000 severance pay and more. It’s a 47% increase over 3 years (at there original 13% pay increase).
Totally get that the are asking for more pay. The government keeps giving themselves pay increases. The works deserve it more. Sadly, the private sector flips the bill.
@Fred Dexta I don’t work for the CRA.
Have you seen the state of the economy? Where does all this money come from? Stop spending money that Canadians don’t have.
JT will be there for you guys! He’s got Coward 19 and hiding in his basement.
If you don’t want to do this job, JT will let another millions of immigrants come to do, period.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hard to hear n all Canadian have not choice but to wait n more frustration on not having our documents done. Now there would be more backlogs and more excuses on why things take long
The union is disconnected with the Canadian public.
