This Burlington rideshare driver says his earnings have never been lower. Why he and others say Ontario’s new minimum wage law isn’t helping Rules guarantee minimum wage $17.20/hour for “engaged time” — spent actively completing trips or deliveries — but ignore time spent waiting for work.

When employers don't pay for waiting time for rideshare drivers and misclassify them as independent contractors, it cuts income and strips away basic protections like sick leave and health benefits.

Gig work must be decent work‼️ #Justice4Workers www.thestar.com/news/gta/thi...

Canada still lacks universal paid sick leave — and that’s a public health problem as we approach flu season A universal sick leave system would help Canada better manage seasonal illnesses and future outbreaks, protect economic stability and prepare for emerging crises.

"Many workers still face an impossible choice if they fall ill: stay home and lose pay, or clock in sick and risk spreading illness.”

NEWSFLASH ⚡️We still need universal, accessible 10 #PaidSickDays for all workers. #Justice4Workers theconversation.com/canada-still...

"Wage theft: MAKE IT STOP!!"

Ontario doctors don't get paid when they treat uninsured patients. Here's how that might change | CBC News Several times a week, a man comes to the busy ER in Toronto where Dr. Bernard Ho works — and the doctors treat him, despite the fact that they’re not being paid for it. The Ontario Medical Association...

WHSC - Low quality jobs linked with increased ‘deaths of despair’ Canadian research suggests rising incidence of suicide, drug poisoning, and alcohol-attributable mortality (SDAM) is in part to due to increasing insecure, precarious work.

⚠️New research from a Canadian study suggests that low quality jobs are linked with increased (suicide, drug poisoning, alcohol-related) “deaths of despair”.

This is why we're advocating for decent wages and fair hours. #Justice4Workers www.whsc.on.ca/What-s-new/N...

Measles cited as possible factor in Southwestern Ontario infant's death A seven-month outbreak of measles has claimed its first life in the London-area

HEARTBREAKING 💔

Ontario must provide effective tools such as #PaidSickDays for workers to stay home if sick, get immunized, and curb the spread of #measles. #OnPoli #Justice4workers

💸 High fines alone don’t work. We need:
✅ Proactive investigations
✅ Real consequences like business licence bans
✅ A system that puts recovering stolen wages first
It’s time to create a culture of compliance, not a free pass for law breaking bosses.

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 🦠
