Re. Tough negotiations ahead (Castanet, Feb. 14)
It’s time for the B.C. government to work for everyone, not just public sector workers, whose numbers have increased 133% since the NDP as elected (to government) in 2017.
Given (public sector workers) a cost of living increase of less than 3% and increase pensions and benefits by the same amount. Alternatively, lay off 50% of them and give increases above 3%, based strictly on merit.
Also, check the statistics showing time away from the job, which is the second highest of any (working group) in B.C.
