Lol #unions

[haggis88]

Useless, lazy and not fit for purpose, much like every government worker

CRAs work can be automated for 90% of people, trim the fat and give the other 10% a payrise

[killramos]

I think 10% is very generous

[jutes]

I filed my taxes online and got my return in 2 days, tell me why we need them again?

Cra had 44,000 staff in 2018. Up to 55,000 for 2022

And they want a 22% pay raise, when CPI has only increased 12% since the last agreement ended, lol.

I bet these are the same people who complain about companies gouging customers with high product prices.

fk em, automation should be taking over

[ExtraSlow]

Guys you'll tank the economy if the public service doesn't grow.

That is actually wild

Meanwhile (back in January) the CRA said it wasn't worth finding the $15bn in fraudulent Covid payments.

Wait a minute. I thought you had to work in order to go on strike.

I’m guessing the average government employee would find picketing to be a massive increase in their workload

The bureaucracy must expand to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.

Find the fraud, get your raise ask.
Plus we'll fix the glitch on automation.

What will people in Winnipeg do?? Get insurance jobs?

[killramos]

I’ve heard there is lots of work to do converting dumps to memorial sites.

I can’t really fault the workers, if I had a chance at a 44% raise then I sure as shit would picket wherever.

The union is being greedy as fuck though; so out of touch with reality. However I also think this is a failure on the government that we’re going to see more and more of. Lots of government workers have got nil for raises for the past decade while we’ve still managed to run up record deficits spending on flashy programs.
