1. Workers are ineligible for CRSB the week they receive WIPB. CRSB meant to complement paid sick days whereas this policy makes them ineligible. Workers already struggling now have to deal with granular details of multiple applications & still end up with financial loss 2/4
2. This benefit is only for 3 days. How can someone struggling to pay bills get tested, isolate, recover and get vaccinated with 3 days of leave? 3/4
3. We must understand precarious work as it intersects with lack of job protection. Who is the employer? How will this regulate temp agencies? And so many other ways this policy leaves precarious low-income workers behind and worse off 4/4
