SUMMARY:August 16th Emergency Worker Wednesday
DESCRIPTION:Come to an ad-hoc Worker Wednesday\, and prevent unfair changes to the Employment Standards Act \nEvery last Wednesday of the month\, workers and community allies gather virtually on zoom to mobilize and organize for worker justice in BC. Worker Wednesday offers a space to find pathways to obtain worker-led demands and to take action for legislative change to ensure workers are protected. \nWe had paused Worker Wednesday for the summer\, with the intention to reconvene in June. But when worker rights are threatened; whether it’s winter or summer\, rain or shine\, snow or sun\, it falls upon us as workers to organize. \nThis last year\, under the Justice Delayed is Justice Denied campaign\, the Worker Solidarity Network has been working towards reforming the Employment Standard Branch to an accessible\, accommodating\, correct\, effective\, and fair. This culminated in us successfully campaigning for 12 million dollars in additional funding to the ESB. \nNow\, we have found out that our government has been looking for feedback on changes that directly oppose what we have been organizing towards this past year under the Justice Delayed is Justice Denied campaign. To that end\, we are convening an Emergency Worker Wednesday to strategize for a collective response. \nJoin us for an important\, Emergency Worker Wednesday on August 16th\, 6:00pm to 7:00pm\, to help us prevent workers rights from being rolled back in BC. \nIf you are unable to make it\, we encourage you to register regardless\, as we will be inviting all participants to join an emergency phone bank on August 31st to respond to the proposed changes. \nWe encourage everyone to participate in whatever way feels best to them\, whether that’s camera on or off\, being a listener\, or using the chat to share their thoughts. \nRegister here!
