Submission to the Ontario Workforce Recovery Advisory Committee

July 28, 2021

This joint submission to the OWRAC from the Workers’ Action Centre and Parkdale Community Legal Services focuses on app-based companies’ use of misclassification to avoid their responsibility to gig workers. App-based workers have extremely low pay and unstable, dangerous jobs. We call on the Committee to recognize that gig workers are employees, not a new category of worker, and deserve protection under our basic employment standards. We put forward the demands of the Justice for Workers campaign — including paid sick days, a $20 minimum wage for all, and laws that protect all workers — as the way to improve wages and working conditions in the post-pandemic period.
