Thank you to all the Scarborough workers who came out to our meet up! We are building a network of support to ensure dignity, respect, and fair treatment for all working people across our city. Stay tuned for more events!
$183,254 in unpaid wages recovered for workers by workers! That’s worker power in action. 💪

“If my boss stole $5,000 from me, it will take a year [to file a claim], and there’s a good chance the Ministry of Finance will not recover that money.”
$200 million was stolen from workers' pockets over the past decade in Ontario, and we know this is just a fraction of the total amount. The Minister of Labour has enabled this crisis, allowing over $80 million to go uncollected.
We need real enforcement and protections for workers to stop bad bosses from stealing from workers in the first place!
We need to now.
