Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

[irinaaas11]

But I thought they were overpaid workers that don't do anything and no one would care about if they were all gone...

Overpaid for sure, that I can agree with.

I read this article. They will be paid from March 30 and April 12th. They may still be paid but the govt will recover the money for missed days.

From the same article:
"Since there’s no compensation advisers in the office, they will have to probably reproduce the last pay cycle and pay people the same thing. And they won’t be able to make, necessarily, adjustments because there’s nobody to make those adjustments or recoup the money. [...] the only way taxpayers may get our money back is if employees voluntarily fill out a form."

When it comes to IRCC "officers" they should be paid by the number pf oath attendees. That will motivate them to work. LOL . JK.

Or may be I read a different article. It said they will have to payback later for the days missed.

I'd be the first to sign a petition for this. Paid by the no of oath ceremonies and applications processed. Performance-based compensation like in the private sector

I found this comment "The only way they can get 13% is by laying off 30% of them. ".

I can't access my bf's tracker since he got the notice to appear email (the famous stuck in "loading/chargement" error), but I tried the F12 trick and it still shows as scheduled for April 27th.
I'll check again on Friday and see if it changes.

In other news, I finally got in the tracker today and it shows "in progress" for the ceremony section, with the "Congratulations! You've been scheduled to attend your citizenship ceremony on April 27, 2023. Follow the instructions you will receive in your ceremony invitation." message.

Yes, but that might take awhile, and only if they fill out a form.

Lmfao imagine saying 70k is overpaid. That too these days
Mate just because few think someone is overpaid, doesn't automatically make it a fact.

My friend.. google phoenix payment system and federal workers salaries and buckle in, you'll be in for a ride

$2bn in tax payer money wasted implementing but I guess half of the people here dont give 2 shits about tax-payer for this eh?

Also due to Phoenix pay systems issues, guess who will be blamed for errors in pay? The lazy selfish workers of course......

April 27 is today...How come? or was that an error?

There's a 9.7% wage premium compared to the private sector, and that's not even mentioning benefits, early retirement, etc.

He was scheduled but got the cancelation email 2 days ago. They didn't update the tracker, but once they do, it will show "not started", I guess.

Where exactly does your source say that what the federal workers get are "overpaid"?
All that can be inferred from that picture AND your posts is that because they earn (debatable that too) more than private sector, fuck them instead of holding private sector and companies accountable for shitty wages in almost every single occupation.

Pretty sure that's not how overpaid is defined as.
