The CUPE thing is hilarious. As a union member myself how could any union say the current govt. has done -anything- for unions lol..
It’s really just gotten to such a low point here that the unknown is better than the status quo.

The Conservatives did everything possible under Harper to fuck up PSEC and PIPS. I should know, I was in both. I lost so many good honest hard working co-workers to layoffs and DRAP (deficit reduction action plan) position eliminations. Harper's government also allowed the fed system to keep running on like a 5 year lapsed contract. Don't even get me started on fucking Phoenix, another Conservative government disaster... does your company ever not pay you for 3 months straight randomly and then balk at issuing you emergency payments or double your pay and then threaten you to give the money back as fast as possible? I know of at least 1 person locally who committed suicide as a result of Phoenix issues.
Were the Conservatives fiscally responsible spending billions on a broken pay system? How about when Harper's government decided to eliminate local HR/Payroll positions at every government so we can't talk to anyone about our pay or employment issues because some minister in New Brunswick wanted to employ everyone there in a big expensive (failure) of a central location for all that stuff which is constantly understaffed and won't answer your requests for months on end. Guess what now? Liberal government is having to keep that centre open and re-open positions in local areas in all departments to restore service to acceptable levels again.
I was so thankful when the Liberal government came back in and re-negotiated new contracts and has done so in a timely fashion since then... they've gone out of their way to grow the sector and pour money into Phoenix to fix it's stupid broken ass as well as commit to a replacement.
So yah, one of the biggest unions in Canada says FUCK YOU to the Conservative government and THANK YOU to the Liberal one.
