How We Work
WORKERS’ RIGHTS PHONE LINE
We receive hundreds of calls every month from people facing problems at work. We provide support and discuss ways to deal with a bad employer or get unpaid wages. Call our central line at 416-531-0778 for information on your problem.
EDUCATION
It helps us at work if we know our rights. It helps us even more if we know how to protect ourselves when the law doesn’t. We provide workshops at our Centre and all across the city on workers rights, and produce factsheets and booklets on workplace rights, temp work, job scams and other issues (available in various languages).
CHANGING OUR LABOUR LAWS
The laws covering workers are outdated. And the government is not doing enough to enforce the weak laws that do exist. One in three employers break the law, often with no penalty. Our members come together to fight for better wages and working conditions for all workers in our province. Our victories prove that this way of making change works.
ORGANIZING FOR FAIR EMPLOYMENT!
Our voices are stronger together. Change will not happen if we take on problems one by one. We need to address the roots of the problems we face and the weak laws that allow racism and poverty to affect our lives and our workplaces. Supporting each other means taking action for change!
