  • Notwithstanding clause as weapon against workers

    Doug Ford, a premier who only shows up to the provincial legislature 1/3 of days, feels he can override workers rights to force people into poverty.

    Education support workers already make far below a living wage in Ontario and the reigning conservative government aims to keep it that way.

  • Time to Get Paid For Your Time!!

    We going over some of the shameful ways the employer attempts to avoid paying us and what we can do about it.


    Clarification; Misspoke at one point when I (Kevin) said you could get OT pay past your scheduled hours in group 2.  I realized this could imply time and a half, however, If you are a part time worker you would get straight pay until you pass eight hours then get time and a half when and if you pass eight hours.
