Gig workers are being taken for a ride! Giant app companies like Uber & SkipTheDishes are exploiting loopholes to deny their workers essential workplace protections like fair pay, paid sick days — even workers’ compensation. But we can change that. WorkersDeserveBetter.ca #BCLab

@paulnixey Just going to challenge the concept of tipping differently for local vs chains. By law, tips go to the workers, not the business owners. I don’t think workers at a chain deserve a smaller tip bc of where they work.

@SussanneRS and Uber driver Aman Sood just spoke to reporters at the BC Legislature about the attack that left him injured, and the need for real employment protections for gig-based workers. Next stop: a meeting with Minister @HarryBainsSN! #BCLab #BCPoli

Astounding that YVR's new city council abolished its living wage policy. This city competes on people, creativity & environment--not poverty. Sends exactly the wrong economic signal, at exactly the wrong time. Here's my & @christineeboyle's take: dailyhive.com/vancouver/city…. #canlab

The minimum wage increase announced today will give BC’s lowest-paid workers a much-needed raise and help them keep up with the cost of living. 🧵 #BCLab #BCPoli

The report, leaning heavily on studies paid for by app-employer lobby groups, "reads to me like a wish list for Uber and Lyft. Basically every recommendation in there rolls back workers’ rights and protections and gives very few if any gains for workers." — @sussanners #BCLab
The Tyee@TheTyee

“Straight up fear-mongering”: The Greater Vancouver Board of Trade is arguing more worker rights would eliminate 70% of those jobs, costing thousands of people tens of millions in lost income. Experts say their claims have no basis in truth. #BCLab thetyee.ca/News/2023/03/2…

"B.C. has some of the strongest employment standards in North America, but they don’t mean much if they can’t be enforced. That, though, is going to change." @SussanneRS on the big impact of the BC Budget's boost to the Employment Standards Branch. vancouversun.com/opinion/op-ed/… #BCLab

Work for a gig/app-based company? They're trying to keep you from having basic employment rights — like minimum wage protection, paid sick leave, health and safety protection and more. Learn more and tell us your story: bcfed.ca/gwdb #canlab #bclab

Poilievre's economics are a hodgepodge: both authoritarian & libertarian. Only consistent thread: foment anger to direct at federal institutions. That got him elected CPC leader. But it’s a terrible way to run an economy. My take for @TorontoStar thestar.com/business/2022/… #cdnpoli

Big shout out to @Laird4bcfed for your leadership of @bcfed. We have won many important victories for working people. But you aren't off the hook yet! 😉 There are a couple months left in your term. Let's add a few more to the list! 💪👊

@BCLiberalCaucus @KevinFalcon Laughable. Falcon was part of stripping collective agreements, freezing the minimum wage and leaving workers to fend w a self help kit. No one believes he cares about workers or their rights. #bcpoli

BREAKING: BC Labour Minister @HarryBainsSN has just introduced Bill 10, which will ensure single-step certification when at least 55% of the employees in a workplace sign union cards. #bclab #bcpoli
