You tell us, is a 47% increase in pay "normal"?
why did the body intended to help with the negotiations write this:

Maybe. Depends on what the value they provide is.
In the tech industry, getting a 47% raise by job hopping to a new job that does the exact same thing, isn't unheard of, so it seems entirely plausible it could be justified. If it actually is in this case, i don't know, but its not crazy on its face.

Is your point that you can copy/paste from wikipedia and provide no actual commentary??
Given that PSAC are asking for 4.5% raises during a period of high inflation I’m skeptical that this is that unreasonable rather than that there’s political hay to be made claiming it is. If they haven’t had cost of living increases for a while, they’ve already effectively had a pay cut.

Many people lost their jobs and had to take pay cuts during COVID, why are federal employees exempt from market forces?
