Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown says he plans to follow the leadership of the province and the city employees need to return to work full -time next year.
Provincial government announced on Thursday The public servants will have to start October 20 in the office starting on four days a week, and will have to raide for five days in the week by 5 January.
Brown said at a newstock 1010 radio show on Friday morning The decision to follow the suit in Brampton was made on Thursday evening. He said that the province’s decision was “long -over -over” and office work is better for productivity.
“This is a legacy of a housing,” said Brown. “It was brought up during Kovid. You do not get the same level of productivity as much as there are. The challenge was not that no one wanted to be the first proposer to bring back this policy that you could lose employees.
“The fact that the province is doing it is great,” Brown continued. “It will set the tone. I think it will be a cascading effect with other folk servants.”
Ontario’s public service members have flooded social media with hundreds of positions, sharing their unhappiness with the new mandate.
The mayor of Brampton said, “There are many municipal public servants who have already returned to work, individually, full -time.” “Firefighting, police officers, transit workers. For the remaining employees, I think it will be a little adjustment, but I think it’s the right thing.”
The Public Service Union is encouraging workers to sign a petition published on Friday morning, asking the provincial government to reconsider the decision.
