Download or read book Eroding Worker Protections BC s New Flexible Employment Standards written by David Fairey and published by Canadian Centre Policy Alternatives. This book was released on 2005 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key Findings Sweeping reductions and changes to the enforcement program in BC have had a serious and negative impact on the ability of workers to become aware of their rights in the workplace, to complain of violations of their rights, and to obtain fair treatment in the process of pursuing complaints and having their complaints adequately investigated. [...] In November of that year, the newly-elected provincial government embarked upon a series of substantive changes to the Employment Standards Act, regulations under the Act, and the system of administration and enforcement of the Act. [...] For example, the stated goals of the new legislation were, allegedly, to: • protect vulnerable employees, particularly those in certain sectors; • encourage flexible workplace partnerships; • help revitalize the economy, specifically small business, by recognizing the needs and the realities of the workplace; and • simplify the rules.13 The goal of protecting vulnerable workers is restated in the [...] The Act was substantially restructured in 1995 following recommendations of the first and only compre- hensive independent review of the Act in 1994 by Commissioner Mark Thompson of the University of British Columbia's faculty of Commerce and Business Administration.16 14 Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives - BC Office Regulation The Employment Standard Regulation17 is that part of the law whi [...] Administration and Enforcement Administration of the Act, and the policing and enforcement of its provisions and regulations, is the responsibility of the Minister of Labour and Citizens' Services through the Director of the Employment Standards Branch and her/his staff.
Download or read book Workplace Rights for Immigrants in BC written by Habiba Zaman and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2002 changes to the Employment Standards Act reduced the enforcement and monitoring role of the government, undermined workers' knowledge of their rights by removing the requirement to post the ESA in workplaces, reduced employment-related benefits, restricted worker control over their schedules and hours of work, and slashed the minimum wage for first-time workers, many of whom are recent imm [...] To provide a snapshot of Filipinos in BC, the paper Survey data and narratives then presents an analysis of the demographic profile reflected in the survey, including some of the challenges respondents from filipino immigrant faced. [...] According to BC labour researcher David Fairey, "This is the first time that a specific group of employees, by virtue of membership in a union, have been excluded by the Act [ESA]."20 According to Fairey, this has several major implications, and two are particularly pertinent to this study: the provisions of a collective agreement may be below the minimum standards set out in the ESA; and, it enco [...] In fact, the survey, as analysed in the next section, shows that the changes to the ESA exacerbate the economic insecurity already experienced by recent immigrants and other vulnerable workers. [...] Several scholars have demonstrated that immigrants in Canada encounter racism in the labour market as well as in the workplace.26 As the goal of this study was to examine the changes to the ESA and its impacts upon immigrants' economic security, this issue was intentionally avoided in the survey.

Download or read book Enforcing Exclusion written by Sarah Grayce Marsden and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Canada’s liberal dream, the law extends its benefits to everyone. But the law also determines who is included in that “everyone.” Migrant workers, long welcomed in Canada for their labour, are often excluded from both workplace protections and basic social benefits such as health care, income assistance, and education due to their lack of permanent status. Enforcing Exclusion recasts what migration status means to both the state and to non-citizens. Through interviews with migrants and their advocates, Sarah Marsden shows that migrants face barriers in law, policy, and practice, affecting their ability to address adverse working conditions and their interactions with institutions such as hospitals, schools, and employment standards boards. In documenting the impact of precarious migration status on people’s lives, Marsden questions the adequacy of human-rights-based responses in addressing its exclusionary effects.

Download or read book Temporary Labour Migration in the Global Era written by Joanna Howe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the global era, controversies abound over temporary labour migration; however, it has not previously been subjected to a sustained socio-legal analysis on a comparative basis, critiquing the underpinning concepts conventionally accepted as fundamental in this area. This collection of essays aims to fill that void. Complex regulatory challenges arise from temporary labour migration. This collection examines these challenges and the extent to which temporary labour migration programmes can be ethical, equitable and efficacious and so deliver decent work for workers. Whilst the tendency for migration law to divide labour law's worker-protective mission has been observed before, the authors of the chapters comprising this collection seek not only to interrogate why and how this is so, but to go further in examining the implications and effects of a wide range of regulatory mechanisms on temporary labour migration.
Download or read book Temporary Work Agencies and Unfree Labour written by Judy Fudge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unfree labor has not disappeared from advanced capitalist economies. In this sense the debates among and between Marxist and orthodox economic historians about the incompatibility of capitalism and unfree labor are moot: the International Labour Organisation has identified forced, coerced, and unfree labor as a contemporary issue of global concern. Previously hidden forms of unfree labor have emerged in parallel with several other well-documented trends affecting labor conditions, rights, and modes of regulation. These evolving types of unfree labor include the increasing normalization of contingent work (and, by extension, the undermining of the standard contract of employment), and an increase in labor intermediation. The normative, political, and numerical rise of temporary employment agencies in many countries in the last three decades is indicative of these trends. It is in the context of this rapidly changing landscape that this book consolidates and expands on research designed to understand new institutions for work in the global era. This edited collection provides a theoretical and empirical exploration of the links between unfree labor, intermediation, and modes of regulation, with particular focus on the evolving institutional forms and political-economic contexts that have been implicated in, and shaped by, the ascendency of temp agencies. What is distinctive about this collection is this bi-focal lens: it makes a substantial theoretical contribution by linking disparate literatures on, and debates about, the co-evolution of contingent work and unfree labor, new forms of labor intermediation, and different regulatory approaches; but it further lays the foundation for this theory in a series of empirically rich and geographically diverse case studies. This integrative approach is grounded in a cross-national comparative framework, using this approach as the basis for assessing how, and to what extent, temporary agency work can be considered unfree wage labor
Download or read book Women s Legal Strategies in Canada written by Radha Jhappan and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have Canadian women gained from their pursuit of legal remedies to social, political, economic, and cultural inequalities? Is law a fruitful avenue for such struggles? Using liberal feminist, postmodern, critical, race, and queer theory, these essays confront the anti-rights critiques of the legal Left regarding the use of law in general and the Charter in particular. Several chapters explicitly examine the strategic limits and possibilities of the substantive equality rights approaches pursued by LEAF (The Women's Legal Education and Action Fund). Others focus on legal strategies mobilized in discreet areas of law and public policy by foreign domestic workers and racialized women, lesbians, women seeking reproductive freedom, women in the childcare movement, and anti-violence advocates. Recognizing the diversity of women across class, citizenship, race and ethnicity, sexual identity, culture, and (dis)ability, this collection evaluates the efficacy of the wide range of legal and political strategies women have employed, particularly in this post-Charter era. Women's Legal Strategies in Canada is the most comprehensive account of these important issues and will surely become the standard work in the field.
