Canada has a identical problem with morbidly overpaid govt. union workers and their taxpayer funded cadillac retirement plans. A union guy with highschool grade 12 education and DL can drive a street sweeper for few hrs and pull in excess of 100K CAD . City park services cleaning dog poop make excess of 60K with overtime. The union managers hand out 8hrs + overtime for work that can be done in 20 minutes. The MPs get excessive benefits for life. Canada's massive natural resource wealth is masking this systemic rot.
