During question period today, Premier Doug Ford signaled his intent to cave in to the Big Business lobby by rolling back our new workplace rights.

Let's remind the premier that it takes more than a comment in Question Period to undo our fairer employment laws.

As it stands, THE LAW still says we are less than 13 weeks away from our $15 minimum wage and fairer scheduling rules – rules that would  protect workers if they say no to a last-minute shift that conflicts, say, with a child’s birthday celebration.

Help us spread the word that our $15 minimum wage is still coming.

The Statistics Canada data show that the total number of hours worked by workers across Ontario grew fastest AFTER the minimum wage rose to $14 and in the Food Services and Accommodation sector – the sector with the highest concentration of minimum wage employment -- average hours of work grew even faster, increasing by 13% between January and August. Wages in that sector also grew at by an impressive 10% - faster than the rest of Ontario (click here to download shareable)
