Gig workers are being taken for a ride! Giant app companies like Uber & SkipTheDishes are exploiting loopholes to deny their workers essential workplace protections like fair pay, paid sick days — even workers’ compensation. But we can change that. WorkersDeserveBetter.ca #BCLab

On Halloween let's remember Bela Lugosi & his pro-union, anti-fascist work. A SAG founding member, he served on their board & organized workers. Lugosi helped form the Hungarian-American Council for Democracy, calling 4 “Nazism to be wiped out everywhere.”

Announced the same day the Ontario govt invokes notwithstanding clause to overrule the Charter and impose a 1.5% 4-year contract on education workers. The BC-Ont contrast could not be sharper. And the threat to basic labour rights in 🇨🇦 emanating from Ontario is grave. #canlab
