It was welcome news when the Public Service Alliance of Canada and the federal government reached a tentative agreement for more than 120,000 civil servants.

The timing couldn’t be worse. Almost half of small businesses are still making below normal revenues in addition to dealing with high input costs, a gripping shortage of labour and supply chain problems. Unlike unions, small business owners don’t have strike funds to tap into, and they will be left to absorb many of the costs of the disruptions on their own.
In addition to concerns about service challenges and deadlines, small businesses are worried about the implications of large-scale public service wage settlements. Since 2015, the civil service has grown by 30%, and salary expenditures for staff now exceed $60 billion. Government workers generally have higher wages, better pensions and benefits than those in the private sector. The costs associated with meeting all union demands would be staggering and could result in endless deficits, future tax hikes and higher inflation. In addition, few private employers can match such an increase, while taxpayers should not have to bear the burden of these costs.
