the neighbour hood of ill to it ccntr per hour Up to the present time Federal Government employees except In the Post Office Department who are required to work shift work and there are large num bers of them do not receive any shift differential for working on shifts Another area is in the field of group the Insurance The maximum amount of group in surance that may be earned In the Federal

Goevroment that salaries for the various classes of employees will he in relation to salaries paid for comparable work in industry While this prin ciple is generally adheredto it may not be so well known that having arrived lit com psrabie rate the Federal Go crnment abatss the rate only ed at for clerical and manual employees to compensate for the allegedly better fringe bend ills pmvidedlntheServiceoom pared to those enjoyed in Most ry Thus the public scrvantin required to pay forlany advant ago he may haveln the way of working conditions compared to his fellow worker in industry in addition recent surveys in dicate clearly that while at one liltle conditions In the Public Service may have been more ad vantageous than those in private industry fringe beneï¬ts in in dustry are rapidly catching up with those in the Public Service think it is safe to say there fore that in terms of overall salary and working conditions the Public Service employec does not have an undue advant age over the employee in indust ry in Niece days of complex public administration in which Government provides an enor mous variety of public services the Goverilmeni and hence the taxpayer is an employer of people with wide variety of knowledges and skills ican see no reason why these people should be compensated at too ser rates than they would rev celve in private industry
