WORK 1 - The War on Workers

Description:

Labour has undergone a seismic shift over the past decade. 


The rise of gig work and temp agencies have made employment more precarious than ever. In the interest of profits, companies are turning more and more towards temporary foreign workers and international students for minimum wage jobs. And even for those with seemingly secure employment, wages and benefits continue to be squeezed. 


One thing seems clear: workers are getting screwed. 


This season of COMMONS will dig into the fascinating history and ever-changing present of what it means to be a worker in Canada.
