If the province capitulated to the energy industry, it surely has capitulated even more to it's employees?
You keep spewing argument, but haven't backed it up with proof yet. A quick search of StatsCan paints a different picture:

National avg wage for public sector: $53,369
AB avg wage for public sector: $60,995
ON avg wage for public sector: $55,912

(Numbers from 2011)

National avg wage: $48,646
AB avg wage: $59,766
ON avg wage for public sector: $48,794

(From 2014)
