I'm a public service employee with a provincial government and my husband works for the feds. In our field, hands down the private sector is out pacing us in wages and holiday opportunities. And lower level provincial staff are being paid higher than more senior staff in the federal department in a similar field. I'd say this pole, besides providing poor and polorized options, paints an untrue picture of the current system. As for the wages and benefits of politicians didn't they just give themselves a raise? I also don't believe cutting wages and cutting spending is going to solve the nation's economic issues - it's much more complicated and requires greater long-term vision than that.
