No surprise that the employer keeps delaying. They’ve been doing it since 2021 when negotiations started. In fact, I think it’s all they know how to do.
@RMG aren’t you the one tuning in? Your choosing to care if you do
@dave macdonald you mean citizens?
@CabbageDestroyer🥬🔥 they get strike pay if they show up for 4 hours a day. It isn’t much but it’s better than nothing.
@c s Strike pay is from the union and not from the government.
The Gov’s assumption is 1 week before agreement. I Highly doubt that
From what I’ve seen the union and public workers are very greedy with their demands. Perhaps that’s why they haven’t responded to your package…
We were lining up and waiting outside the service building in the winter weather for 7 hours to hand in our passport applications, and then waited 8 months to received them. It was promised to be 3 months, after that we called the several times to the office, no one answered, even not a recording machine. Just gave up, and cancelled the trip.
So do we have the medical capacity to revive Jack Layton yet?
I wish……
Honestly I wish. There’s not a person alive right now I’d trust to run this country.
Invoke the Emergencies Act to move things along; Paul Rouleau will endorse the use.
Do you speak English? Who’s “Paul Rouleau”?
@Kyle Ruggles Do you understand English?
Was Paul Rouleau from the same team that recently resigned with the goverment buddy team of freeloader. Now the ethics person just resigned and now it should be let Trudeau GO
@Lorna Richardson Do you think conservatives would be any better? History of Unions and conservative party are even worse then Liberals. Harper was always fighting with unions the whole three terms he was in the office.
I would like to direct everyone s attention to the amount of crying that happens by the union AT ALL TIMES. I unfortunately have the displeasure of working with these sub human type ppl that live only in their own ideals.
Thank you for your service!
Sounds like our government
What a surprise!🤯 The Union workers have decided they arent getting enough money. How are they going to make their Tesla payments and go on that 2 month vacation to Europe? ☹
Do not stop fighting for your fair deal, Chris. Stay together and strong and you will not fail.
What’s Aquaman doin there 😆
Keep fighting Chris, a victory here could translate into benefits for all Canadian workers!
You mean Gov workers paid by taxpayers money, right ?
@bogdan111000 lmao you got the point
As a ordinary worker, i wish i could demand such outrageous salary raise and work from home. No, i guess i am not that irreplaceable 🙁
You think that these demands are outrageous? How about the government sending OUR money to that place and another without asking our permission? And then the prime minister spending it on his own private vacations? You do not find that outrageous? And just a question – did you find it outrageous when the MPs voted “yes” to their own raises and the raise to the prime minister?
@kmo_9000 You’re misinformed.There are no guarantees after a collective agreement expires. Everything is on the table every time. Once a contract is reached then just like the private sector, the employer has obligations. It’s a contract, obviously.
@Krys Starr It is standard practice in the private sector to pay premiums to call centre agents with shifts starting late at 3pm/5pm/8pm. Many companies even pay these workers bonuses, which would never exist in the public sector. Again, misinformed views about what is normal and reasonable. And it’s a negotiation not a legislative change.

Enhancing their salary is make sense but I cannot accept that gov. workers handle their work from home, it doesn’t protect citizens privacy and personal info at all!
What protects your information in the office? Ethical public servants do. Government works use the same systems at home as they would in the office.
Everything is digital guy. Nobody is sitting with your passport application on their kitchen table. Just silly.
There are no kids, dogs and kitchens in an office
@Christopher Townsend are you sure while they are working from home, having a zoom meeting, talking about their clients cases, there is no another person at home?
@Christopher Townsend I am not concerning about will they work in a kitchen table or not, I don’t care. I am care about while they are working, there might have a risk of privacy cause not every gov worker lives alone!
What next, you want these employees to use typewriter or handwritten notes as computers are prone to hacking? Get out of last century mindset as the world has moved on.
I though this was a promo for WWF wrestling, with all that shouting. Where is Mean Gene?
So the federal government monkeys raised taxes on all Canadians on all levels, so now Canadians who work in the public sector want a raise to cover the government taxes imposed on them. This makes sense, but I feel bad for those that don’t work in the private sector.😢
Look at how well fed they are.
💀💀💀💀
Looks like most have been surviving on Kraft Dinner. Lots of it.
Let’s go Brandon 😂
Step one for a happy life , don’t work for criminals .
70k a year is not enough. 🎉
? They get 120k on ot 🎉
Stay on strike forever please.
you can tell that dude practiced his speech for when he becomes prime minister.
