Fantastic Day yesterday at "From Broken to Better" Conference on Changing Labour Standards in N.S.
Over three-quarters of workers in Nova Scotia are not unionized. For them, the Nova Scotia Labour Standards Code is the only line of defence — and it hasn’t kept up with today’s reality: unpredictable hours, rising costs, and widespread wage theft. Every worker deserves basic protections. FREE!

Nova Scotia has very weak labour protections for those without a Collective Agreement (a union). If we want to attract workers in high demand we need to have improved labour standards. If you have ever felt like you do not have rights at work - join us! #halifax #workers #legislation #novascotia

Think you know your rights at work? Did you know, in N.S. you can be fired any time without cause? Just a little "notice" makes it legal. Did you know that if you supervise or schedule other employees you may not be entitled to overtime? Learn more, spread the word, change the rules! Join me...

But note they DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE A REASON - just notice.
Under the Labour Standards Code, in N.S., employers must tell an employee in writing that they will fire or suspend or lay off that employee. How much notice an employer must give an employee depends upon how long the employee was employed.

Coalition Building leads to "stirring shit up"... but its more work... and takes longer. Many issues, many solutions - what can we all agree on?

In a moment of blinding optimism about PP as PM, I thought about Nixon and China... PP could end oil and gas and go full steam ahead on #renewables - because he would get business on side as they would potentially assume he had the same goals as them. Like I said, a moment of blinding optimism!

do not fall for the chicken or fish line - (Libs or Cons?) you have a third choice and its the best choice. Tired of Trudeau but as frighted of PP as you should be? NDP is looking good.
