  • News April Fool$
    News For Immediate Release April 1, 2008 April Fool$ MLAs now paid 15.4 percent more than in 2006 Transition Allowances up 30 percent REGINA: MLA pay has increased by 15.4 percent in just two years, from a taxable equivalent of $73,173 to $84,409 today, says the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). Wage hikes mandated by an all-party committee in 2006 led to the drastic increases. The basic MLA indemnity rose to $82,110 following the last election, to be indexed for inflation each April 1. A 2.8 percent increase gives cabinet ministers an annual wage of $127,384. Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz will make $133,523, and Premier Wall, $145,799. Even though the Cumberland seat is vacant, total wages now reach $5.85 million. The average salary is currently $102,783, since fully 37 of the 57 sitting MLAs receive bonuses for additional duties. Roles include premier, opposition leader, house leader or deputy house leader, speaker, deputy speaker, cabinet minister, committee chair or deputy chair, whip or deputy whip. These amounts would be even higher had the government not declined to pay the $12,560 to which the seven legislative secretaries would otherwise be entitled. “Most constituents could only dream of this much money,” said Lee Harding, Saskatchewan Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “In January, the average weekly earnings of Saskatchewan people was $731.72, which translates to an annual wage of $38,049. The average MLA earns more than two-and-a-half times that amount, insulating them from the financial realities of the constituents they represent.

  • Dear SGEU Member: the Saskatchewan Government Is Proposing to Privatize Food Services in Our Adult Corrections and Young Offende
    Dear SGEU member: The Saskatchewan government is proposing to privatize food services in our adult corrections and young offender centres in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. This move will result in the elimination of 64 SGEU member positions and could be a first step towards the full-scale privatization of corrections and young offender services. It is a further erosion of the strong public services SGEU members are proud to provide and that make our province a great place to live. Help us stop the privatization of corrections food services. We can make a difference. Our goal is to show government that Saskatchewan people do not want to go down the privatization road. You are receiving this information package to help you take an active part in the campaign to keep corrections kitchens in public hands. The information has been developed to help you understand the issue, and take action by contacting your local Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) and the Minister of Corrections. We also urge you to talk to co-workers, friends and family about whey we need to stop this privatization initiative. This package includes: . A fact sheet - Five good reasons to stop privatization of corrections food services. It describes the current situation, and provides evidence and arguments against privatizing corrections food services. An information sheet to assist you to contact your MLA. A tracking sheet to record your contact with your MLA. Sample questions to ask your MLA. A form letter to your MLA that you can copy and distribute to friends and family, have them sign and send to their MLA.
