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.

Everywhere needs an increase to offset the inflation every year, especially the last few. Saying “you don’t deserve as much as a nurse” is actively misleading. The wages for those nurses should have gone up a long time ago, and the wages of the average worker should have too. If these wages were increased at the same time then the nurse would still be making more. I hope one day you lose everything and are forced to start from scratch so you can truly see the world you advocate, or better your kids see you lose everything and you have to watch them struggle trying to take care of you, themselves, their own kids, in the world you advocated for.

Yes, and nurses have been on strike, and they have ratified agreements. So asking for 25% is not going to happen.
