Yes, exactly what I'm referring to. The entitlement is big with this one. This is why I'm not a fan of unions. Imagine, I used to work in the health care industry providing direct care, all health care is unionized, and we didn't have ANY SICK DAYS negotiated in our contract!!!! When unions first started, there was a purpose...now I question the purpose.You are right ... And it is even worse than that unfortunately ... The secretariat of the treasury council of canada has tried to stop this abuse of our public money paid by honest workers like you or me by establishing rules for using vacancy code 699 ... But their union - without any shame - went to court to challenge ... To keep their "right" to be able to use 699 without any restrictions. In simpler and more direct terms: They want to fight legally to retain a `` right '' according to them to continue to receive their full salary (money from taxpayers) without doing anything.
This is not a joke :
