May 30, 2017

The Globe and Mail reports Ontario government will increase the minimum wage to C$15 per hour by 2019 as part of a wide-ranging employment package unveiled today. Additionally, part-time, temporary, casual and seasonal workers in Ontario will now receive equal pay for equal work. The plan also changes union rules, making it easier for temporary workers, building services workers, as well as home and community care workers, to unionize.
