The Conservative Government introduced an economic and fiscal statement last week that fails to provide relief for workers, or any measures to get the economy back on track. It also threatens to roll-back our rights.
Instead of dealing with the biggest economic crisis in decades, the Harper government has chosen to:
- Break signed collective agreements by rolling back wage increases for some workers, including our members at the CRA;
- Impose wage controls on all federal public sector workers; and
- Attack the right to pay equity.
None of these actions will help workers or the economy.
We need a government that shows leadership -- that recognizes the economic crisis, invests in jobs and in people and that respects our human rights.
Let's make Parliament work. Let's support a coalition government that will get us through this economic crisis.
Join us on Parliament Hill, December 4 at noon.
