\"mmm_hypocrisy\"<\/p>\n

The Union of National Employees is joining the Public Service Alliance of Canada in urging its members to boycott National Public Service Week.<\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s that time of year again; when the government that\u2019s always throwing you under a bus to score political points tries to thank you for providing public services. Well, thanks but no thanks. Your ice cream tastes a little too much like hypocrisy.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ll recall, on the eve of last year\u2019s public service week<\/a>, Tony Clement dropped a big flaming bag of poo on our doorstep when he announced he was coming after our sick leave.<\/p>\n

This year, Treasury Board is celebrating National Public Service Week under the banner of \u201cProudly Serving Canadians<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s keep it real: our members are proud of the work they do. Yes, they proudly serve Canadians \u2013 and they do it day in and day out. That should be the message that our employer conveys to the public every day of the year. Instead, it spends 51 weeks of the year maligning its workers, accusing them of fraudulently using sick leave and being lazy.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s really happening on the ground? Our members continue to proudly serve Canadians, but they\u2019re doing it with fewer resources and less support \u2013 all while the Conservatives continue to cut program after program.<\/p>\n

Canadians are being cheated of quality public services \u2013 and our members know it.<\/p>\n

So forgive us if we say \u201cThanks, but no thanks\u201d to the burgers, hot-dogs, ice cream and insincere speeches. Actions speak louder than words; and the employer\u2019s actions have been saying plenty!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
