Union upset with pay bump

The Canadian Union of Public Employees isn't happy that some Liberal MPP's, including Thunder Bay's Michael Gravelle and Bill Mauro, are getting increases in their pay.  The union claims cabinet members, such as Gravelle, will earn an extra 49-thousand dollars, above the 116-thousand MPP salary.  Mauro and 28 other parliamentary assistants get an extra 16-thousand a year.
