The top positions should take a 20% cut, the Mayor, 30%.
Why?
Would you suggest similar cuts throughout government and CS?
The Mayor does not draw a salary.
So the staff that are working get a 10% pay cut and the staff who aren’t working also get a 10% pay cut?
Premier Burt has been asked twice if MP’s are taking a pay cut and both times he said”we are looking at it”
.
The Mayor does not draw a salary.
Amen, next the civil service should take a 30% pay cut.
Obviously economics and finance isn’t your strong suit.
Cutting the Civil service by that much would totally ca lapse the economy even more. The civil service employees and the high paying private sector jobs will be the only individuals stimulating the economy for the next 24 months. If you cut them that drastic they will spend less money, which will effect other jobs/businesses.
