On April 1, 2026, the federal minimum wage will increase to $18.15/hour. 🏆 Workers campaigned hard to reinstate a federal minimum wage and won in 2021, also securing annual increases indexed to the Consumer Price Index. While these are important wins, workers know the fight continues! Better labour laws, like higher minimum wage, are only as strong as their enforcement. For too many federally regulated workers like truck drivers, #wagetheft is an all too common reality. Yes, workers need higher minimum wages, but we also need governments at all levels to enforce these minimum standards and do their jobs.

🔗 Stand with workers and send a letter to our government to Stop Wage Theft now: WorkersActionCentre.org/stop-wage-theft #Justice4Workers #jobprotection #DecentWork #WorkersRights #ontario #canada

#stopwagetheft means workers having the power and protections to enforce their rights and get their unpaid wages back! Right now, the Ontario government relies on workers with the least power to identify and report wage theft. This means workers must weigh the risk of standing up for their rights against the risk of being fired. 👉 That’s why we’re calling on the government to take action to ensure that workers have “just cause” protections, protection for collective action (concerted activity), and interim reinstatement.

We do this by training workers to take on employers that break the law and defend their rights and by fighting for systemic change to labour laws and their enforcement through campaigns such as #StopWageTheft. Have a problem at work? Get in touch today. 🔗 Join the movement, support us, and tell our government to stop wage theft now: WorkersActionCentre.org #Justice4Workers #WorkersRights #onlab #Solidarity #Ontario #Canada

Without real enforcement, these new rules don’t work. ✊Join the fight for better enforcement and protections for workers: workersactioncentre.org/stop-wage-thef…

These are Ontario’s new rules for job postings -- and why they don’t go far enough. If the Ford government was “Working for Workers”, they would be taking proactive steps to enforce the labour laws rather than relying on workers to do their job for them.

“Even when drivers are filing complaints when laws are being broken we're seeing that companies are able to get away with it.” The trucking industry is no outlier. Our current enforcement regimes, both Provincial and Federal, are failing workers. Listen to how our current systems are enabling the #WageTheft crisis: cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…
