Anyway I’m not willing to work with this kind of employer treatment. I’ll go with the Feds or the private sector, even if it’s elsewhere, rather than work under those conditions. I’ll make more and fly my parents out more often.

$160k as a twenty year lawyer? That’s about 50% of the private sector. I guess the NS govt doesn’t really care about retaining talent, just throw junior lawyers at murder trials and who cares about the outcome. People seem to forget its 7 years or more to finish law school. A year of gruelling apprenticeship. These people are underpaid working 12hr days putting bad guys away. It’s a shit job, dealing with the worst of society day in and out.

The irony of the premier being the highest paid in the country isnt lost in this dispute. Hell, the minister of Justice and deputy minister likely earn well over $200k and are home by 5 daily.

I feel bad for the DOJ lawyers who are doing this injunction. Their own contract is coming down the pipes and they can now know what to expect. Hopefully they botch the injunction on purpose. I bet they’ve advised MacNeil the legislation is illegal and willl never pass muster, but being a refrigerator repairman he doesn’t give a damn.

Ohwell, 6 years from now taxpayers will be on the hook for way more than 17%. Typical NS to play the short game. Who is ever going to want to work in this province?
