Canadians aren’t imagining the cost-of-living crisis | The-14

New data show Canada’s cost-of-living crisis is real, driven by wage insecurity, housing costs and inequality, not perception or social media hype.

Gig-work delivery jobs are getting more dangerous | The-14

Delivery gig jobs promise flexibility but expose workers to danger. Weak labour rights, unsafe streets and algorithmic pressure put lives at risk globally now!

If the corporate management wants to take credit for growth, they must also be first on the chopping block when it's time for layoffs.

Don't want those thousands of workers any more? Then the management have screwed up and they must bear responsibility. #FireTheCEO before considering laying off any workers.

Oh, C-suite management don't like that idea? You think #PrecariousWork would be scary? Damned straight. So worker's jobs should be as secure if not more than the CEO's.

I'm still astonished by what I endured for the sake of a paycheque. To be fair, I was also doing it because terribly vulnerable people relied on me to do what I did. I'm still extremely relieved that I left that field of work when I still had some wellbeing left. And, I've been doing #PrecariousWork ever since but it's work that I love and which boosts me up.

"Without a clear supervisor or even a consistent job site, basic problems around working conditions are nearly impossible to address." Ten years ago the #OECD stated precarious employment contributed to increased #wealthinequality and thus social instability.
