| Close the wage gap, skilled tradespeople tell government Skilled tradespeople at Eastern Health demonstrated on Wednesday, demanding government pay them what their private-sector counterparts are getting. They say tradespeople won't come to work in the public sector for such low wages. "Government always said they'd look after us, but they keep pushing the ball from one side of the fence to the other. Electrician Jim Smith says government needs to close the gap. You know, it's an endless struggle. " Smith says the tradespeople at Eastern Health are earning ten dollars an hour less than their NAPE counterparts at Memorial University. |
