Conservatives launch petition against ‘catastrophic’ Phoenix pay system, something they created
They forgot to mention they're the ones who created the "catastrophic" pay system in the first place.
The Conservative Party of Canada now claims they’re champions of public sector workers?
Believe it or not, but the Conservatives are now attacking the Trudeau government for “14 months of Liberal ineptitude” handling the “catastrophic failure” of the federal government’s broken Phoenix pay system – something they actually created.
The Phoenix pay system was dreamed up by Stephen Harper’s Conservatives, an automated system for paying federal public servants, though the Public Service Alliance of Canada points out it was really “an opportunity to cut jobs.” The system has been plagued by glitches effecting over 80,000 public servants – one-quarter of the federal workforce – with tens of thousands left unpaid or underpaid.
While public sector unions have blasted Trudeau’s Liberals for ignoring their warnings about the pay system and fumbling on the issue for over a year, they also blame the Conservatives for laying off 2,700 pay advisers before Phoenix went live – even IBM (originally contracted to build the computerized pay system) says the Conservatives cut corners on training, one of the main causes of the “fiasco” in the first place.
Those are a few of the details the Conservatives forgot to mention in their new online petition apparently targeting Facebook users in the National Capital Region.
