Jamie Baillie: Moving Civil Servant Jobs From Halifax Is Bad HR

NS PC Leader Jamie Baillie

The vast majority of Nova Scotia civil servants asked to relocate from Halifax to offices in smaller towns say they won't go. 71 unionized workers from three government departments were asked to relocate.  Only five have agreed.  57 have chosen to stay in Halifax and be shuffled to other departments, while 9 have quit their jobs altogether.  Provincial PC Leader Jamie Baillie tells us ... the Dexter government has been pulling a "fast" one on rural communites like those on the South Shore.



Baillie says its been all about ... PR ... and not very good .. HR ... on the part of the government. He also says you can't create jobs in rural areas by simply shuffling existing ones around.
