👉British Columbia will be the first Canadian province to set a minimum wage and protections for gig workers using apps like Uber, DoorDash, and Lyft, starting September 3. Workers must be paid $20.88 per hour during "engaged time"—from accepting to completing an assignment. This rate is 20% higher than B.C.'s minimum wage of $17.40 to compensate for gaps between gigs. Tips do not count towards earnings, and platforms must cover any shortfalls. The new rules aim to ensure fair compensation for gig workers, who often face low earnings after expenses, said Janet Routledge, parliamentary secretary for labour.✅ .

👉Bell has faced criticism after reportedly laying off hundreds of workers via virtual meetings, according to Unifor, the employee union. Over 400 employees were declared "surplus" in 10-minute sessions without opportunities to ask questions. Unifor's Quebec director condemned the move as "beyond shameful." Bell's communications director stated they had been transparent with Unifor but did not directly address the meeting format. Unifor's outrage prompted changes for future meetings, with union representation and open questioning permitted. This follows Bell's recent job cuts affecting 4,800 employees, coinciding with a dividend increase, drawing widespread criticism.✅ . 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚-𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭!

👉The Canadian government has stated that the demands made by striking workers are unaffordable and could have serious implications for the country's economy. Approximately 100,000 federal public service employees, represented by the Public Service Alliance of Canada, are currently on strike across the country, demanding better pay, working conditions, and job security. However, the government claims that the demands could cost billions of dollars and lead to significant cuts in services. Negotiations between the union and the government have been ongoing since late last year, but a resolution has not been reached. With the strike continuing, the impact on essential services is beginning to be felt, and the government's stance is causing controversy among workers and the public.✅ . . #CanadaStrike #PublicServiceAllianceofCanada #StrikingWorkers #LaborRights #JobSecurity #FairPay #WorkingConditions #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
