Ministry of Labour staff in London will
demonstrate outside their York Street offices on Thursday Oct. 4 to demand the
immediate reinstatement of 19 employment standards officers, including two from
London, who were laid off on Sept. 20. Their lay offs came three days after
Labour Minister Linda Jeffrey announced the Ministry planned to hire 18
additional officers.
“We plan to protest against the Ministry’s
blatant double-standard when it comes to hirings and firings,” said Lorna Bulgin,
president of OPSEU Local 102 which represents
Ministry of Labour staff in London. “Our members enforce employment standards
and by weakening our numbers we put at greater risk marginalized part-time
workers, like many new Canadians, who face predatory employers over issues like
wages, hours of work, paid holidays and other regulations under the Employment
Standards Act.”
