The government is setting up a framework that allows bosses to squeeze more hours out of workers and avoid paying them overtime. It licenses an employer to intimidate workers into agreeing to working 60 hours a week. That's not a law. That's enslavement . A recipe to end family life as we know it, upsetting schedules, interfering with plans, making it difficult to tend to the needs of our parents, our loved ones.
People deserve to have a life.
In this bill, the Conservatives aren't giving them much of one. The postcards were designed by trade unionist Frank Saptel, who is here today. We invite unions across the province to use them as a vehicle for protest. There's a lot of anger out there about the 60-hour workweek that Mr. Harris and his corporate bosses are ramming through into law. People want more family time, not less.
