Our project partner, Workers’ Action Centre, released its new report at a launch on March 31, 2015 with over 150 people from unions, community organizations, universities and government.
“Still Working on the Edge” builds research and interviews with workers in precarious jobs conducted as part of Closing the Gap and brings together workers’ voices and experiences, identifying key problems in the labour market and priorities for change. As the Ontario government undertakes a review of its labour legislation, the report is a valuable resource with concrete recommendations for improved protections for workers.
