Know Your Rights

Welcome to the Workers’ Action Centre!

Our organization and members are committed to improving the lives and working conditions of people in low-wage and unstable jobs.

We want to make sure that all of us have a voice at work and are treated with dignity and fairness. On this page you will find materials on your rights at work. You can also phone us if you need advice about a workplace problem you are facing, and request to speak to someone in your language. All calls are free and confidential. If you feel that workers need more protection at work please join our movement of working people to improve wages and working conditions!
