Rights & Dignity at Work

Rights and Dignity at Work campaign

More and more Canadians are anxious about how to pay our bills, worry about job security and no retirement benefits, and feel that standing up for our rights at work might cost us our job…

Too many of us are being left behind

These days, more and more people are in temporary and part-time jobs, and are left feeling insecure and anxious about their future and the future of their children. This is a broken situation and it will not get better unless we come together and take action.

We need a collective voice at work, as well as support from all our communities when we fight for our rights at work.

Governments must pass laws that help bring fairness and justice to the workplace. The Rights & Dignity at Work campaign will strengthen our ability to be able to speak up at work.

It will strengthen community support and government action to help with the fight for rights and dignity at work. Workers must be able to join unions and maintain union rights without fear of losing their jobs.

Together, we can take action and achieve fairness

Let’s share our experiences with each other to help determine how we can address these problems and demand real change, such as reforms to labour law and employment standards.
Community-led campaigns can ask the government to take effective action and fix the laws. Together, we can build long term strategies with allies and make it easier for people to organize to achieve decent jobs and stronger communities.
