OTTAWA - Canada's public servants are bracing for another onslaught of notices this week warning them that they could lose their jobs as departments rein in spending to meet the Conservatives' $5.2 billion spending-cut target.
At least a dozen departments are expected to deliver hundreds of notices to employees Wednesday and Thursday before the summer vacation season swings into high gear. The notices will tell employees they are either losing their jobs or the work that they do is being affected as departments manage the cuts.
Some of the departments issuing notices are Transport Canada, Infrastructure Canada, National Defence, Fisheries and Oceans, Justice Canada, Environment Canada, Public Works and Government Services Canada, Industry Canada and Human Resources and Social Development Canada.
Some say the major round of notices issued this week will be the last until the fall. But Gary Corbett, president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, said Canada Revenue Agency, the biggest department with 45,000 people, has yet to inform any employees and that cuts there will have to come before the fall.
Since Finance Minister Jim Flaherty unveiled his March budget calling for $5.2 billion in annual spending reductions and the elimination of 19,200 jobs by 2015, federal departments have sent out more than 18,200 notices in three waves. So far, about 2,200 people are facing layoffs and another 915 are in jobs that have been declared surplus but have been promised a “reasonable job offer†by their senior bosses.
“I think we will see more before the end of the summer and it is going to be rock and roll when the politicians come back in the fall because people will start to find out what is being cut and will be asking questions,†Corbett said.
“I can just imagine how the morale is sinking with more of these notices, but this has been well-orchestrated so politicians can go on their summer holidays and go off and build gazebos and leave everyone else to deal with (the fallout).â€
Departments are under pressure to sort out who’s going and who’s staying as quickly as possible. Their budgets have all been cut for the fiscal year and they have to get employees off the payroll to meet their savings targets. They also have to manage around the 120-day period all surplus employees are given to decide what they want to do: Employees can go on a surplus list for a year in the hopes of finding another job, or leave government with a buyout, pension penalty waiver or education allowance.
The unions had hoped those facing layoffs who want to continue working could swap jobs with employees who want to go.
But the unions have been feuding with Treasury Board and departments because they aren’t allowing job swaps or enforcing the practice, which is part of the layoff provisions enshrined in all unionized employees contracts.
The two largest unions, PIPSC and Public Service Alliance of Canada, recently filed a grievance against Treasury Board and 14 other departments for failing to enforce job-swaps. Unions met with Treasury Board on Monday to try and sort out their disagreement.
Unions claim there have been few swaps because departments aren’t participating or are refusing to take employees from other departments. What’s more, they say Treasury Board is doing little to encourage them.
It is estimated that between 70 and 80 surplus employees have found someone to swap jobs with since the budget — a far cry from what unions had hoped for to keep involuntary layoffs to a minimum.
“More than 2,000 people have already been declared surplus and there are so few matches. That tells me there is something really wrong with the system,†said Claude Poirier, president of the Canadian Association of Professional Employees.
The latest round of cuts comes on the heels of Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page’s standoff with the government over its refusal to release details about the nature of the cuts. Only 18 departments had provided the details Page requested when Privy Council Clerk Wayne Wouters stepped in and told Page, on behalf of all departments, that the government couldn’t release any information because of contractual obligations with the unions.
Unions, however, strongly support Page’s efforts to get more details on cuts and many asked Treasury Board to release any information demanded other than the names of those losing their jobs.

小哈还是不错的。干这得罪人的事。
加拿大如果还不控制开支的话，过些年就沦落与希腊，西班牙为伍了。

保持加拿大财政状况良好，才能压制国债收益率，进而控制加拿大基准利率，Harper做的很对，对国家政策做出微调，大国小鲜的典范

这倒是真的。不过我问了几个在政府的朋友，他们都觉得很安全。
有个朋友的部门，里面还有西人，才高中毕业，他说要裁也是那些人。
这要看部门的，我认识的博士都被裁了。

New round of federal public service cuts coming this week
http://www.cbc.ca/m/touch/politics/story/2012/06/26/pol-public-service-cuts.html
Hundreds of federal public servants are expected to learn Wednesday whether they could lose their jobs.
Almost a dozen departments and agencies will be informing employees this week that their jobs have been declared "affected" because of budget cuts.
In its March budget, the federal government said 19,200 public service sector positions would be cut over the next three years in an effort to find government savings of $5.2 billion.
Thousands of employees have already received notices that their jobs are "affected" through previous waves of announcements that started soon after the budget. But several departments haven't yet announced how many jobs will be cut and employees have been anxiously awaiting news since March.
Some of the departments that will be announcing their cuts for the first time this week, or further cuts, include: Human Resources and Social Development Canada, Fisheries Canada, Transport Canada, Industry Canada, Justice, National Defence, Infrastructure Canada, Public Works and Government Services Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency.
Gary Corbett, head of one of the unions that represents public servants, said Tuesday he expects about 500 of his members to be given affected notices starting Wednesday. The unions are given 48 hours notice by the government. About 3,000 members of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada union have already been given notices. Corbett said he expects rounds of cuts to continue to trickle out over several more months.
"I do not think it is the last round," he said. "I think there will probably be some more announcements over the summer."
Once it is decided how many positions are to be eliminated, employees may be declared "affected" and have to compete with their co-workers to keep one of the remaining jobs. Other employees are declared surplus right away.
Laid off employees, however, aren't necessarily off the payroll immediately. There are several options available to them through their union agreements. Efforts are made, for example, to place them elsewhere within the public service and it can take up to a year before an employee declared surplus might actually be out of work.
Stressful process
"This is a three-year budget remember, you won't see everything in the first year," Corbett said.
The union head said the competition process that some employees have been going through is stressful. Five people in one office may be fighting for three jobs, he said as an example.
"You can imagine what that does," said Corbett. "You might have had lunch with the person the day before and then all of a sudden you're a competitor for your future."
The Public Service Alliance of Canada, the other major union that represents federal public servants, also confirmed it is expecting news this week of more of its members being affected.
PSAC and PIPSC have filed grievances with the government, alleging that many departments are not living up to the terms negotiated in workforce adjustment agreements with the unions. The agreement allows for employees to swap jobs with non-affected employees who want to leave their jobs. It is up to managers to decide whether the job exchange is allowed.
The unions are saying that some departments are refusing to allow job exchanges or have failed to facilitate the option in the first place. The unions are encouraging employees whose requests have been denied to file grievances.
