Workplace issue?
Scared to speak up?
Many workers stay silent because they fear losing their jobs or getting in trouble. Silence should not be your only option. We are here to listen, support, and help you understand your rights confidentially.

Long-term care workers care for our seniors with dignity. They deserve that same dignity in their workplaces. Fair wages. Fair schedules. Fair treatment. Respect for care workers is non-negotiable.

Workers should not bear the brunt of tariff-related economic pressure.
If hours are cut or jobs are lost, people need clear information about their rights, EI, and available support.
SWEAC is here to help. Reach out.

I just wrote to PM @MarkJCarney Ministers @gary_srp & @LenaMetlegeDiab demanding that Bill C-2 be rescinded. This law gives dangerous unchecked powers to the government to deport people, including permanent residents and attacks refugees. Add your name: migrantrights.ca/stopc2?sour…

The 1-year asylum restriction proposed by Bill C-2 is more stringent than a parallel restriction in the U.S., which dates back to an asylum seeker’s most recent visit to that country, disqualifying people who came here on holiday, to study or for work.

The kind of work you do, the wages you earn,the security you feel, all have a huge impact on your health and well being. That's why we need #DecentWork for all.

⚠️New research from a Canadian study suggests that low quality jobs are linked with increased (suicide, drug poisoning, alcohol-related) “deaths of despair”.
This is why we're advocating for decent wages and fair hours. #Justice4Workers whsc.on.ca/What-s-new/News-A…

“Labour advocates say app companies have avoided paying minimum wage by misclassifying gig workers as independent contractors, excluding workers from the full set of rights & benefits they would otherwise be entitled to as employees.”

We’re witnessing the deliberate expansion of a mass deportation machine designed to tear apart families and communities.
This bill is immoral, it is illegal, and it will be stopped.
