My letter to Michael Wernick, Clerk of the Privy Council

Fellow members,

I recently wrote to Michael Wernick, Clerk of the Privy Council, to express my concerns with his recent comments claiming it is difficult to fire public servants. Rather than lament how hard it is to fire people, my letter issues him a call to action on such critical matters as building a new functioning pay system, strengthening whistle blower protections, and ending bullying and harassment in our workplaces.

Better Together!

Debi Daviau,
President
