We’re still building movement power for #decentwork. How about you? We’d love to catch up.
It’s hard enough to make a living wage today. Imagine how much harder it is if that wage is stolen from you. #decentwork
📢NEW REPORT exposes how "Ontario’s enforcement system has allowed wage theft to flourish—from employers who disappear behind shell companies to franchises that evade accountability—leaving workers…fighting for money they may never see.” #StopWageTheft #Justice4Workers #onlab

$1.74/hour. That’s what a @TorontoStar reporter earned delivering for Uber Eats.
Gig workers deserve:
⚖️ Fair pay for all hours worked

Ontario’s new laws don’t go far enough. Workers need justice NOW.

ALT Graphic for Decent Work Day. Title reads, "Decent Work Day" with a date underneath "October 7,2024" followed by text that says, " Advancing decent work within the nonprofit sector needs to be an intentional undertaking within nonprofits, and sustainability of change will only come from using a human centered approach.".

Ontario’s general minimum wage will be $17.20 on October 1, 2024! Worker power won a yearly increase to the #minimumwage. Read & share to expose some of the myths about minimum wage increases: workersactioncentre.org/onta…
And let’s keep fighting for #Justice4Workers! #onpoli
ALT Worker Update: Ontario's Minimum Wage Goes Up October 1, 2024. General minimum wage increases from $16.55 to $17.20 per hour. For students under 18 years of age it increases from $15.60 to $16.20. In 2014, workers fought for and won a law that tied the minimum wage to rising prices. This means that wages won't fall so far behind when the cost of living goes up. But this is not enough! That's why workers are fighting for at least $20 for everyone. Join the movement.

Miigwech, thank for sharing. Thinking today of the Survivors of Kuper Island IRS and their families who so generously shared their stories with us so that ppl across Canada and around the world could learn about the impacts of a so-called 'school.'
If you can, please share 🧡
Take a listen to the Kuper Island podcast hosted by @duncanmccue. It tells the stories of 4 students, who "attended one of Canada’s most notorious residential schools – where unsolved deaths, abuse & lies haunt the community & the survivors to this day.” cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/1…

🔸National Day for Truth & Reconciliation🔸
On this day, we confront the painful legacy of colonialism, honour the thousands of Indigenous children stolen from their families and forced into residential schools, and stand with the survivors and their families who continue to carry that trauma.
This is not just a day of remembrance—it is a call to action. It demands that we commit to real, lasting change, to stand up against ongoing injustices, and to fight for true reconciliation with Indigenous communities.

Orange Shirt Day is a time to reflect on the cruel legacy of residential schools, a system supported by governmental and ecclesiastical authorities that sought to assimilate Indigenous children and eradicate their cultures.
Wearing orange today is one way we show our collective commitment to ensuring such tragedies are never repeated.
The statement "Every Child Matters" reaffirms a commitment to recognize the inherent value of every child and the resilience of Indigenous communities that continue to advocate for truth and justice.

On National Day for #TruthAndReconciliation, we acknowledge the lasting impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities.
Today, we honour Indigenous peoples by reflecting, learning, and finding ways to contribute to reconciliation. Join us in this journey.
