$9.2 billion spent on private staffing agencies over 10 years could have substantially increased wages and added supports like on-site childcare. Instead, wages fell by 13% in real terms, while agencies charged up to 300% of salary. policyalternatives.ca/news-research/…

Today, ONA joined allies to support the Ontario NDP's Bill 19 calling for mandatory nurse-to-patient staffing ratios in hospitals. Staffing ratios improve retention and recruitment as well as patient outcomes. @Fordnation legislate #StaffingRatiosNow!

We can't expect parents to vaccinate their kids if they don't have the tools to take time off from work. Paid sick days are associated with higher vaccination rates. Legislating at least 10 #PaidSickDays would help prevent infectious disease outbreaks 🦠 #Justice4Workers #OnPoli

This is why we need to fix Employment Insurance, so it is simple, accessible and adequate. Anyone working retail will have a hard time getting enough hours to access EI. #Justice4Workers #FixEI #CanLab

Wage theft is rampant, yet the government does nothing to stop it: “There needs to be consequences for employers who don't pay, that aren't just slapping more fines on top of money owed.”–Ella Bedard, Workers' Action Centre. #Justice4Workers #onpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

A huge wage theft case only hints at Ontario's weak enforcement: "It's very telling that this employer has previous convictions and was able to start a new business and do the same thing all over again" - Ella Bedard #Justice4Workers #stopwagetheft #onpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

Our staff lawyer, Joanna Mullen, suggested that Ontario adopt new enforcement tools to protect workers from situations like this. Cases of wage theft persist as we're reminded that that nearly $80 million in unpaid wages were owed to workers from 2017-2018 bit.ly/43Su1b8

HEARTBREAKING 💔This death should not have happened! Ontario must provide effective tools such as #PaidSickDays for parents and workers to stay home if sick, get immunized, and curb the spread of #measles. #OnPoli #Justice4workers windsorstar.com/news/local-new…

“Labour advocates say app companies have avoided paying minimum wage by misclassifying gig workers as independent contractors, excluding workers from the full set of rights & benefits they would otherwise be entitled to as employees.” #Justice4Workers thestar.com/news/canada/ri…
