Is PSAC A Greedy Public Sector Union That Will Bankrupt Ottawa?

from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

One of Canada's largest unions has been on the picket line after working two years without a contract, but with full pay and bonuses for almost everyone. After watching Justin Trudeau sign 3 years worth of blank cheques during the pandemic, the 150 000 workers are demanding better wages, better overtime, and meal allowances. Is this a case of greedy unions sticking their hand in the public coffers? Can Ottawa even afford to pay them what they are asking for? Jay Goldberg is with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss how much the PSAC raise will cost Canadians. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
