“The current low-wage, part-time, and contract-to-contract job market has led to a grim reality of precarious work and inequality,” said Unifor Ontario Regional Director Naureen Rizvi. “Bill 148 takes important steps to address the gaps that characterizes so much of today’s workplace but the legislation needs to go further to protect Ontario workers.”

On behalf of its more than 160,000 Ontario members, Unifor also organized members to speak at hearings around the province in Thunder Bay, North Bay, Ottawa, Kingston, Windsor, London and Niagara. Today the union submitted its written recommendations on Bill 148 to the Standing Committee of Finance and Economic Affairs urging the government to adopt some meaningful improvements to the legislation to fully achieve fairness.
