Mga Detalye ng aktor

The Workers’ Action Centre is a worker-based organization committed to improving the lives and working conditions of people in low-wage and unstable employment. We want to make sure that all workers have a voice at work and are treated with dignity and fairness.

Thousands of working families are struggling to make ends meet. We are recent immigrants, workers of colour, women, youth and workers in precarious jobs. Most of us don’t belong to unions because we work in small workplaces, work as temps, are on contract, independent contractors or unemployed. One week we may be juggling 2 or 3 jobs while next month there is no work or income. When we are able to find full-time work, there is little protection on the job if we are facing unfair conditions or not being paid what we should be paid.

The Workers’ Action Centre provides a way for people to join together to fight for fair employment. We believe that people who are directly affected by poor working conditions should be providing leadership in our struggle for fairness and dignity at work.
