Hey everyone! I want to let you know that the #LondonDrugs store in Rutherford Mall in #Nanaimo has an amazing #AntiAbleist #inclusive manager. My friend, Tessie, is a #DisabledEmployee there. The manager, Warren, went out of his way to help her feel supported at work. He made her a shirt & a sign for her workstation 👏

If you're on #VancouverIsland in the Nanaimo area, please support this specific store. Please let them know that the public appreciates how they treat their disabled employees & thank Warren for being a stellar, inclusive & thoughtful store #manager 👍

All adult models to be paid in full and on time.

Better wage theft protection legislation and access to legal support, especially for disabled and vulnerable workers.

The government to do more to penalise and prevent wage theft.

#Workers who are #neurodivergent or have other #disabilities are already prone to facing barriers, but Ms. Campbell’s experience highlights another barrier that emerges when the language used in #JobAds inadvertently weeds out #PeopleWithDisabilities.

This likely contributes to the persistent #underrepresentation of people with disabilities in #Canada’s work force.

Employment rate for Americans with disabilities reached record high in 2023

Why it matters: These are people who face huge obstacles in landing jobs; that more of them are employed is a sign of a strong labor market, post-pandemic changes, and the rise of remote employment.

Another way return to office mandates can hurt workers (and employers).

#DisLabor
is a hashtag for disabled people to discuss their experiences while working and/or their experiences in the labor movement
- no union membership needed (though if that's desired, I can put you in touch with some people!)
- don't feel you have to divulge any sensitive disability related details (you decide what may be non/sensitive here whether dx's, symptoms, limitations etc)
- find other #DisabledWorkers and make community!
