I don't mind paying MPs/MLAs well. For one thing, they are nowhere near the top 0.01% in terms of income (they aren't even in the top 1%) and the position's salary should not be a deterrent to qualified candidates. Taken in the context of overall government spending, their salaries are minuscule. I'd gladly pay them all a million dollars a year if they actually did a good job.
This is a good take. Ultimately you'd want the government to be made up of genuinely competent individuals, and you'd only get that by offering salaries that are high enough to draw the required talent.
In western Canada a certain sweet product company is on strike. The workers don't even want a raise they just want to get rid of a new shift the company wants to impose on the workers that is reminiscent of suicide shifts.
so-called “suicide shifts” where workers are only off the clock for eight hours before having to come back in.
