"Federal Treasury Board says that total compensation in the public sector must equal total compensation in the private sector for similar jobs."

A Canadian Federation of Independent Business study pointed out in March of 2015,  when you add in benefits, pensions, and less time per week worked, the premium more than doubles for federal workers to 33.2 per cent.

So a public sector employee doing the same job as a private sector employee is earning 133.2% of the private sector wage - not the equiva1ent as Treasury Board demands.

What's wrong with this picture?
