What? They are getting paid because they put it aside for such events.. It’s their money.
Employees get paid tomorrow because Phoenix pays 2 weeks in arrears. Their next Cheque will be docked if they are on strike. Every day on the line is leave without pay from work. The union pays $75 a day from union dues that are paid by employees every Cheque.
It’s actually Taxpayers’ money. but that’s not important right?
@Matt they also pay taxes
@Matt the average citizens is not important in the eye’s of King Trudeau of Kanada. Because our money is his to spend however he sees fit. If he has to spend more money to make his voters more happy so it will be done. Like I said before that to end the housing crisis outsiders shouldn’t be allowed to own any property in Canada . A 500 thousand Dollar home should cost 500 thousand dollars and not in the millions. When someone tears down any home for low income earners but instead rebuild a home that is 1.5 to 2.5 million dollars no one else is able to afford housing. If someone has money to build any home it should be on a vacant lot and in an area where there are many vacant lots.
The Phoenix Pay Centre is 4 weeks behind. They’re getting paid because it’s paying them for the period of time before they were on strike. Reporting anything else is factually untrue.
@this is my shitposting account what if the managers are also on strike and they’re in cahoots with each other. 😂
@KC What’s stopping them? Logs and records of if they were clocked in or not? What kind of question is this.
@KC Managers are not on strike and they are required to submit daily absences from the workplace. It is all being recorded and their pay accounts will be deducted.
The managers recording attendance are excluded, and cannot strike. They belong to the (EX-01) classification which is Director level.
@KC Management is in a different union, I think
At the end of the day
13 billion for Volkswagen
not enough money for employees, disability or veterans
Not to mention you can run cars for free with cheap hydrogen conversion. Or Thorium
@Manpreet I’m glad you think so. History would dictate otherwise… research Bombardier
13 billion to virtue signal…
@Manpreet $13 Billion for 3000 jobs. Each job cost tax payers $43, 33, 333.33. You think that’s will pay for itself? Can I see your math?
@Manpreet No. We’ll lose the bulk of the 13 billion as that factory won’t even get started.
The deal will be at 11%
Give all these sold out panel a pay cut and they will change their tune.
As a person who is considering voting Conservative next election, I cringe whenever I hear thoughtless hate bait rather than simply answering questions about fiscal responsibility.
no PC govt
strange how some politicians will cut off their nose to spite their face
just to make the “other” party look bad
these clowns were sent to Ottawa to do whats best for the country not bicker like high schoolers
At least the prime minister is getting paid well. No one else in the country is. If he can give himself 2 raises during the pandemic he can give his employees what they’re asking for. Take it from the upper parliaments wadges🖕
Maybe Jagmeet might wake up and get out of bed with the liberals.
Maybe cows will walk upright and chickens will bark at the moon
If Trudeau would get rid of the carbon tax, it would lower inflation costs, which would help everyone including federal workers. Therefore, a more reasonable pay increase would be acceptable. Why can’t we push to put an end to the carbon tax to help everyone while we’re all struggling to keep up with inflation?
I guess everyone has forgotten how much money Trudeau and his cronies have wasted and you guys are worried about paying these employees. I am not even a union employee but I would sooner see the employees get what they want.
do you get 3 percent per year increase in wages?
And he just announced 4.1 billion in official languages and wasting money on legally acquired firearms..
@trtinda11 I got 6.5% this year alone.
No I dont get 3 % per year, I am losing 3% per year of my income due to the inflation issues Trudeau has caused. I am retired!!!
@Dan Martin Then change your job, apply for the government job if you are jealous! Stop whining and do something for yourself!
They best not upset anyone on the streets in Ottawa, the French will ca Trudeau to invoke the Emergency’s Act, Trampling the public with horses, Freezing Bank Accounts etc!
Worst PM in Canadian history
The French?
Lose on.
Trudeau hasn’t been to one of the negotiation table talks. The Phoenix Pay System Center has been a nightmare since 2016 and still to this day is a nightmare for puplic service workers.Thanks to the Conservatives and the current government ignoring the problem, and not taking responsibility for the Phoenix disaster. That distroyed thousands of Federal workers and there families lives. Now the current government wants implement another new federal pay system. Costing Canadians Millions in Taxes.
They should switch to UKG that’ll teach em.
Justin go take another 140,000$ vacation
How about stop giving misinformation on public servants. The offer does not equal 6-7k annually for anyone and whether your on the line or not working because of the strike we are not getting paid. Get all the facts straight before having these talks.
You sound like one of those union DFers
Out for a week?? That’s not very long.
The public is not in their corner because their demands are asinine
English please!
when are they going to call the emergincy act!
Healthcare capped at 1% and no right to strike. Fire them if they are not essential. 🤷
Better invoke the emergencies act and close bank accounts??
