Upcoming

 The Senate of Canada just held two consecutive meetings on the Canada

Disability Benefit, and there is a further one planned for next week:

The Public Service strike has raised a few questions in my mind about what might

be going on here with respect to working conditions. And I am asking abou these 

because they are deep issues about work organiazation, unlikely to be properly addressed

as employee grievances.


Q1- Are there rules and procedures around those phone-in lines for things like tax

returns, security codes to access one's account. One calls and assumes that the people

answering are well organized, with sufficient breathing time and back-up when they 

need it. But some on the picked lines have presented a different picture...


Q2 - Going back to the office to insufficient workstations and 'archaic' computers.

Do work-at-home people use their own computers. Tell us more about 'archaic'...


Yes, the government seems to have a well-oiled computerized system. One would

like to think that the front-end workers and their procedured are also state-of-the

art!!
