In 2015 Minister of Labour Kevin Flynn initiated the Changing Workplaces Review to undertake the largest review of Ontario’s labour laws conducted for decades and report back to the Minister. The review was to consider issues brought about, in part, by the growth of precarious employment.
The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) has made important recommendations to the Employment Standards Act and Labour Relations Act. The IAM believes that it is crucial to incorporate all the priorities identified in the OFL submission. Unless these priorities are reflected in the legislation immediately, Ontario workers will continue to face barriers to fair treatment in the workplace.
The Report, proposes amendments to Ontario’s Employment Standards Act, 2000 and Labour Relations Act, 1995, contains 173 recommendations.
Local Lodge 1922 member Jerry Jarosz gets ready to speak with his Liberal MPP, Bob Delaney about the sweeping proposed recommendations made in the Changing Workplace Review report.
Jerry is a very active Political Action Committee member representing both the IAM and the Peel Region Labour Council and is instrumental in having IAMAW members participate in the current OFL postcard campaign. Jerry will deliver these signed cards to the targeted MPP’s.
