Banks bailed out but workers get nothing? | National Union of Public and General Employees

Dear Member of Parliament:

Since October 2008, one quarter of a million workers (250,000) have lost their jobs. The Federal Government is not doing enough to help the victims of this economic recession - manufacturing workers, the unemployed, the poor, and Canadians on pensions and fixed incomes. The Federal Government's budget approach was to help banks and corporations get through this difficult period and provided very little to assist workers and the unemployed.

I ask you to urge the Federal Government to help Canadians suffering through this crisis with:

Changes to Employment Insurance;
Improvements to Retirement and Pension Security; and
Address the problem of bank bailouts and interest rate spreads between the bank rate and consumer loans.

cc: Prime Minister of Canada
