Ottawa is being accused of an attack on small towns and rural communities across the Maritimes by the union representing Service Canada employees. They says services and employee’s are all being centralized in Moncton which is putting a drain on that office and taking many good paying jobs out of communities that need them. Deborah Gray is the Vice President for the union in the Maritimes and tells CHSJ News, it just doesn’t seem fair.
Gray says at one time….there were 40-plus people working here in Saint John…..that number has been whittled down between 12 and 14. Letters from the union have been sent to all MP’s in Atlantic Canada to see if anything can be done.
