How much cash do Liberals want to take from workers?

The association representing almost 12,000 professionals and supervisors working for the Ontario government claims its recent tentative agreement with the provincial government calls for a 1.83% permanent reduction in compensation.

The association adds that the Catholic teachers deal reduces teacher compensation permanently by 2.5%.

For someone whose total compensation was $40,000, a 1.83% cut would mean giving back $732 each year to your employer.  A 2.5% cut would mean giving back $1,000 annually.  

The government refers to its proposals as a "wage freeze".
