Protecting Pensions, Bill C228

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.
