THREAD: Our new Canadian office of @CntrFutureWork is releasing its first major paper today: "10 Ways the COVID-19 Pandemic Must Change Work for Good." This short video summarizes the major findings. (Bonus points if you guess the TV analogy at the end!) ...2

Check out our full paper here: centreforfuturework.ca/2020/06/03/ten…. The paper shows how precarious, underpaid jobs made the pandemic worse. To re-open the economy, and *keep* it open, we have to fix those problems and make jobs safer, secure, and sustainable. ...3

There's an awesome story by @JacquesGallant in today's @TorontoStar: thestar.com/business/2020/…. I tell Jacques this is an opportunity to win some important, lasting changes to improve work ... and protect public health. ...4

Many thanks to @ccpa and @AtkinsonCF for partnering on this timely work. It's just the first of several publications coming from our new #PowerShare project: centreforfuturework.ca/powershare/. Stay tuned! END

PS: Special thanks to Steve Hawkins (a member of the Unifor Freelance Union) for his fine work producing the video. 👍
