This brief outlines CUPE NB’s recommendations on how the government can improve public services, save money, and support communities. It suggests stopping privatization, investing in public-sector workers, fixing delays like the arbitration backlog, and raising revenue fairly through changes to corporate taxes and a wealth tax. The goal is to build a stronger, fairer public sector for every New Brunswicker.
This brief was submitted by CUPE NB in collaboration with the presidents of the provincial locals to the government ahead of the provincial budget as part of its call for public submissions.
