Submission on Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act

In our joint submission, Workers’ Action Centre and Parkdale Community Legal Services inform the government that Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, would increase precarious and low-waged work if passed. It would reduce protections for workers from excessive overtime hours and unpaid overtime premium pay. Also, construction workers within a number of public organizations would lose the protection of the construction industry collective agreement. These factors and more are proof that, contrary to the government’s claims, Bill 66 will fail to bring “good jobs” to the province.
