I thought they were making “progress”
Corporate PR speak for “time has passed and the public needs to be placated”
Look at those heroes fighting for selfish reasons.
And every other party envolved arent looking out for their own interests too?
Yes, because being able to afford food and housing to not die of starvation and homelessness is considered selfish. I guess breathing oxygen is a privilege now?
@G VS only if you deserve it
Workers deserve to afford rent and groceries. Tax the rich and pay workers fair wages.
Or maybe regulate the cost of food and housing which are human rights?
@GenerationWhyMe define rich
@BD making $500k and up
@Brandon Lederer wait… Liberal Government and Wisely don’t mix.
@BD Those who own capital.
close the tax loop holes for the ultra rich.
Within a few decades just about everyone will have to work for the government, so if they don’t pay you what you want, you can’t just twist the government rubber arm and expect anything other then a slap in the face. The problem with large unions is not all 150,000 workers do the same job. Some work from home, some workers do physical labour, some workers are self managing and have huge responsiblities. The unions do not properly represent the members and are more concerned about self preservation.
The govt is indirectly responsible for 90% of all jobs. If your not one of the lucky ones your life is suffering
We already do,
With regards to tax filing, could’ve been started 2 months ago, so there shouldn’t be an issue with not extending the deadline that’s been known every single year
Time to bring in Jimmy Hoffa or some one like him.
Yeah, his name is pierre poilievre
From my interactions with public servants; they are unskilled at what they do and are overpaid as it is and a golden pension to boot, they don’t deserve anything more than 5% over three years
Chill out and ask your boss for a raise. The poor needs to stop fighting other poors
Your anecdotal interactions (or anyone’s) aren’t enough to adequately paint a picture of the entirety of federal/provincial/municipal public servants
@Katrina Green imagine your what’s customer service interaction that you’ve ever had x10
@Garry Bertier thankfully I’m my own boss and don’t need to. I actually put in the hard work to get to where I am today ..never once did I act like a victim
These workers deserve a fair deal!
Let’s fire these lazy workers. Everybody already knows they are overpaid!
@Just Me well a CR4 makes 51k a year.. so tell again who is overpaid?
@John Shea Have you seen their pension?
@Jenny Herring yep.. at 51k a year they need to do a 35 year career to actually retire some what comfortable.
@Jenny Herring have you seen their pension contributions?
🇨🇦👍❤I would also like to thank Jagmeet Singh for supporting PSAC Workers and for speaking out against back-to-work legislation. Jagmeet understands workers are struggling because of inflation!
Be quiet and get to work
Oh no federal services are going to be disrupted. Curious to see how much slower they could possibly get from the normal.
😂😂 💯!!!!
I’ve been waiting 8 weeks for a 17,000 refund. I am thoroughly upset. Unemployed all winter, taxes are my saving grace come spring. This is seriously hurting me.
OH NO!! I won’t be able to PAY my taxes!!
8 months to get a passport, 4 hours on hold with the government staff….. and then the phone magically disconnects 2 minutes in the conversation
I am still waiting for a income tax refund lol
I’m a tax paying citizen and I don’t agree that my tax dollar be spent on their outrageous demands. They want to work from home and also want a raise. It’s not like they’re being paid unfairly right now. An average CRA employee makes $26/hour.
@Lucas Marinobecause they don’t do anything and they want more money to do a worse job, that’s why. I say fire them all.
@Jacob R FYI Ontario is 16.50
If the gov can donate BILLION of $$$$$ to UKRAINE ,why can the gov raise the wages ??? How much it cost the food now ???
@Lucas Marino They do not make minimum wage. They make more than you would if you worked for most private companies and their benefits are better than the public sector.
@Jacob R Stop saying the “government needs to pay them”, it’s all our money. If they want a raise, they are asking taxpayers to pay. The government is just an intermediary of our money to them and to all the other public services. If they can go on strike, can we as taxpayer go on strike and not pay our taxes too? No.
Many Canadians don’t even make $21/hr and they are still getting by.
Must be impending the Clown’s pocket change! He got a raise why can’t they have one??
company should give insurance and security to the employees that work from home. how that is defined should lead up to more jobs and spending through government and help the insurance companies fund the increase of natural disaster payouts.
that will never happen with a government leader like trudeau who can’t even tie his own shoes
Lol and Trudeau jumps on a plane to NY,
Oh boy!!!Here comes the emergencies act 2.0.
Maybe they are “ASKING FOR MORE THEN CANADA CAN GIVE RIGHT NOW”
I know i should get the reference but i cant recall what it is.
@Christopher Lewis remember when spineless Trudeau said that to the brave Canadian veteran
What you meant by the gov can’t give ???? They can gived BILLION to UKRAINE ,which we have nothing to do .and look at the cost of everything .
Regarding how slow and irresponsible they are to process visitor visa and pr card, I don’t think they deserve a wage increase.
Terrible timing for a strike
Better invoke emergencies act and freeze the union leaders’ bank accounts
It’s funny how much Canadians support union workers, yet acknowledge that union government workers are slow and incompetent. My friend co-oped with the CRA and he did 7 files in half the day, then got called in and was told he can only do 4 a day or he makes the other workers look bad.
