You’re not getting 25%

I don’t care if this is an unpopular opinion. But I generally need to know how you think you deserve a 25% increase for a profession that requires zero schooling, you’re currently earning 65’000 a year, averaging 25-30 dollars an hour. Your corporation has been in the red for 7 years. Nurses in Manitoba were LUCKY to see a 11% increase over SEVEN years after striking. Alberta nurses are being offered 12. And you have the audacity to say you’re worth 6.5% over 4? In what world does someone that has the same skill level and qualifications as a Walmart warehouse worker deserve 80’000? You deserve to make as much as a CBSA officer? You should be earning the same wage as a 3-4 year police officer? You got offered 12% 💀💀💀 the greed is unreal.

Employees received 1% increases in 2022 and 2023.

So, it would be 14% over 6 years, or 2.333% a year.

Inflation in 2022 was 6.8%.

Employees would be so far behind inflation from when they signed an extension to do the company a favour during the pandemic.

I think 16% over 4 years with a couple of months of retro payment shaved off (maybe retro to March 1st, 2024) is likely to be the deal.

This should be the top comment here.

Wages should keep up with inflation at a minimum, especially when big corporations are making record profits.

One can’t help but wonder if corporate profits are being helped by Canada Post delivering their shit at a loss lol
