Carleton University Professor Ian Lee calls the tentative deal a 'fair compromise on both sides' and calls CRA demands 'not realistic.'

The typical government worker works under the 20/20 rule. They do 20% less work than an equivalent job in the private sector while getting 20% more money.
The power of unions
Government jobs have better protections but the pay really isn’t better, this increase was less than inflation so it was a real wage cut.
@Yorke Hey bro how’s it going
Private jobs universally pay better than public sector. It’s one of the reasons there was a strike for increased pay.
More like the 80-20 rule. 80% less work, 20% more pay.
Now does that include the grocery supplement,how many fed workers does it take to type an stamp a passport?
The difficulty in that job is having to deal with obnoxious members of the public. I’d give everyone a raise who has to deal with the idiotic mass of complainers out there.
ok well now….now lets all stop paying our taxes and we go on strike
Sounds like you should unionize
I will join
No taxation without representation.
Enjoy your new tax brackets ! Ai will soon replace you anyways. The more you strike the more they look to replace you with ai
Just need another strike to ban AI in the public sectors. LOL
You don’t understand public service contracts if this is what you think sorry
The wage increase is below inflation, they got a real wage cut.
That was quick great job!
It’s a great deal for the Government; employees 80% lost. The salary increases to employees is half of inflation and of revenue increases; increases are less than many other industries. Big savings/impact on government’s books. Taxpayers should be celebrating. Remote work: potentially a few parameters in place but still employer’s discretion – little gain.
I’m a taxpayer, but why would I celebrate a deal that’s bad for other workers? I like to think my fellow citizens (all of them) can afford to live comfortable lives. But I guess that’s an unpopular view these days where everyone is just out for themselves.
Government easily played PSAC, such a joke lol
Keep them on strike for years.
Thaaaaank you Mr. PM Trudeau… One of the fastest & fairest public negotiations agreements.
The CRA demanded for an 11-13% increase just like the rest of the other departments under PSAC. Not 30%. This analyst is completely inaccurate with his 30% number
Ya and it was over 3 years or 5 years
The CRA asked for 29% (20% over 3 years + 9% adjustment) originally, now down to 22.5% (20.5% over 3 years + 2% adjustment)
they have always wanted more then TB. They want to get raises so that their salaries are again equal to CBSA, which were equal in 04
When hasn’t the news lied?
Fire all these useless two-faced politicians
Thank you for taking more tax to be more productive and ridiculous while so many Canadians are even struggling to pay for groceries.
yeah,yeah yeah,get back to work.
If Elon Musk was in charge he would’ve fired eighty % of that workforce like he did with twitter.
If he was in charge, he’d probably spend all day on his 2yo RP account.
When wages of workers increased without increased productivity the wage increase is inflationary
The cost becomes higher for the same output
Try telling that to companies when they increase their margins. Many products have doubled in price and companies are bragging about it on earnings calls. Thats inflation.
They are so spoiled.
Average federal employee makes 40-60k Gross income 25-35k Net income after taxes + CPP + EI + Pension deductions are taken off. An average Mcdonalds worker full time earns 27k Net income 31k Gross income. Hopefully your entire family becomes homeless since you think federal employees are “spoiled”
This country will be insolvent before they even get their pensions!
WAY to much! Will add to inflation! Public workers should get the ‘average’ wage of the private worker. This deal – rather than have a signing bonus + 10% over four years – is going to add to an otherwise overpaid group. Now, if the government freezes hiring over the lifetime of the agreement – then I would agree that a $1,500 bonus this year – + 2% – then 2% – 3% – 2.5%
Private workers got 5.4% wage increase last year.
More reasons to not work anymore
The thumbnail describes perfectly who these ppl are
