Now suggested tips are on the rise, irking some Canadians — and raising big questions about business practices that make workers more dependent on tips and keep their wages low. 💳

Some analysts say the Conservative leader expected a wave of support from construction unions.

But the change in Liberal leadership and U.S. tariff threats changed the landscape, including union political support.

WSIB protections for lost income cuts people off at the age of 65 even though more people are working past retirement age. Other provinces have re-adjusted legislation. Today @oniwg.bsky.social is calling for Ontario to recognise older workers' rights and this new labourforce reality #CanLab #CdnLab
It's here!

Read the full #RightsDontRetire report now. It details why the #WSIB's arbitrary age 65 cut-off is out of touch with labour market realities and hurts all injured workers.

The measures Prime Minister Carney's announced today are a start. But working people will carry the brunt of this trade war on our backs. It's time for governments to offer comprehensive protections to workers — and to tie business assistance to job protection.
