About 10,000 federal public servants apply for early retirement
✦AI Summary
Approximately 10,000 Canadian federal public servants have applied for an early retirement program as part of a government effort to reduce the workforce by 16,000 jobs. Public sector unions have criticized the move, warning that it could lead to a loss of expertise and service degradation.
The program was available to 68,000 public servants who were notified of their eligibility to retire based on age and years of service, without incurring a permanent reduction of pension payouts that's typical of early retirement.
