These people are government workers who are angry if the union doesn't win them a raise every year (and they won't as I live in a province which is very suspicious of government and nobody cares if they get a raise). So they instead just want their dues back.
- asdff 6y agoRegular raises are not guaranteed for nonunion workers.
- MattGaiser 6y agoYes, but their thinking is that if they don’t get a raise, they should pay what non-union workers pay.
- bumby 6y agoI think there’s an argument that public unions are a very different animal for a variety of reasons that may not make for an appropriate comparison. For example, it may be illegal for public servants to strike. The government may not go out of “business”. Civil servants tend to skew towards white collar professions. Point being, there are a different set of incentives and tactics in pubic vs private unions
