Public sector unions have been quick in their response to “the Big Reset.”
NAPE President Jerry Earle didn’t mince his words in his reaction to what Moya Greene had to say about the province’s spending problem.
He called it a “punch in the gut” to public sector employees, including health care workers and other employees who are working through a pandemic on the front lines.
These people are being asked to shoulder an enormous burden for decisions they played no part in, made by people who won’t suffer at all.

Unifor says the “slash-and-burn ‘reset'” recommendations in the Greene Report will hurt the province’s workers and cut vital social services and impede a post-pandemic economic recovery if implemented.
The FFAW calls the Big Reset “the great regression.”
CUPE echoes those concerns saying services have already been reduced, and the Economic Recovery Team’s recommendations will reduce the quality of life in Newfoundland and Labrador and depress the economy.
