“We expect a real assault on the public service,” said NDP MP Pat Martin. “We’re braced and we’re ready for it and we’re going to push back if he does intend to declare war on the public service. He’s in for the fight of his life.”
Oh, cry me a river for the swivel servants. They’re mostly unionized and get COLA raises every year. I, and many other Canadians, got no COLA raise last year (in fact I took a pay cut for part of the year) and won’t get one this year, either, and many more have lost their jobs. I don’t expect sympathy for civil servants with great job security to be all that high among the public.
Hey, no pain, no gain.
I lost my job too. You telling me the civil service can’t spare any?
