Amazon is texting workers multiple times a day.

Amazon has anti-union posters in the bathrooms.

Amazon managers are using temp workers to advertise “Vote No” on unionizing, knowing they’re leveraging economic power and vulnerability.

Amazon and the city traffic management colluded to change the traffic signals so that drivers have no time to stop and talk to union organizers.

Workers begin voting Monday (2/8/21) on whether or not to unionize. This would be the first union in Amazon.

So your boss is having a meltdown and taking out their emotions on you and your co-workers because Ontario finally raised the minimum wage.

What do you do?

That’s a very real question for Ontario’s most vulnerable workers. Even though many businesses are managing to adapt and remain profitable, some bosses are punishing workers – in some cases, potentially illegally too.

Despite a wealth of economic data showing a minimum wage raise is good for workers and good for businesses, workers report some business owners have clawed back benefits, cancelled paid breaks and even poached tips from their workers.

I am no longer feeling ill and would like to get back to commissions! :)
