Precarious work is a huge issue in Waterloo Region. Employees often lack insurance, sick leave and there is lack of predictability of income that creates the inability to feed & house families. I know professors who rely on food banks. People need job security.
Managers have discretionary power to cut back hours removing the health benefits of part time workers. Some Professors don’t know if they have a job until two weeks before the term starts.
Precarious work mainly targets women, minorities & new immigrants. A person should not have to choose between spreading Covid or losing their job. Temp agencies make money flipping employees not in providing for an individuals long term success in the workforce.
The increase of precarious work hits all sectors. In 2020 Enbridge confirmed about 800 employees have agreed to take voluntary buyouts in the form of early retirement, severance, educational or personal leaves of absence, or part-time work. calgaryherald.com/business/local…
In Waterloo Region only a quarter of those who work part-time or in precarious jobs have medical insurance and dental benefits. thespec.com/business/2023/…

Ford is a serial abuser of law. Why is Canada and the Crown so incredibly complicit to all this? My view: If the federal government and Crown is not stopping the problem, you are part of it. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
We need laws to stop abuse of dominance and anti competitive practices. We need conflict of interest laws with teeth. We need the right to remove politicians who fail to show reasonable compliance to Canadian law.

With Epstein files being released this is interesting timing. Deputy Ozouf of Jersey Island will meet representatives from Qatar and Bahrain to discuss relations between the countries and the Island, and opportunities for future co-operation. The URL changes when I try to post. ImageImageImage
This is the search term I used. I go to the page and tried to post on Twitter. The correct URL shows up but when I hit tweet it switches my posting to this elastic bean stalk url that gives a broken link that can’t be viewed on Twitter. ImageImageImage
Such a brief article I photographed all of it. ImageImageImage
