Spring Evaluation on Government garners “F”

Dundurn, SK

In light of our recent training event, this watch dog would like to share the grades that our members recently gave our provincial government on 9 different areas of their responsibility.

Comments include:

Refuses to share – fair royalty for the benefit of the people of Saskatchewan i.e. Natural Resources such as potash.

Lack of attention to detail – costs continue to rise exponentially (housing, utilities, food, gas, tuition) and too many are not receiving any share of the economic boom.

Lacks integrity/honesty – transparency in agreements such as Amicus & sales of crowns and other agencies such as SCN: not good deals for anyone.

Bullying – mistreatment and disrespect for all workers, particularly public sector.

Doesn’t listen well – health care workers plight continues to go unnoticed even when unsafe staffing is continuously highlighted.

Not shy about playing favourites  –  corporate hand-outs such as royalty freezes and tax cuts continue to be prevalent.

Doesn’t play well with workers (& their families) – everyone should have the right to fair wages, affordable education & equal opportunity.

Lack of respect for teachers and students – failure to value quality public education & ensure adequate resources are placed there.

So What kind of grad would you give the government?
