Army of precariously employed workers in Canada is alarming and must be stopped by legislation by ministry of labour in each province (starting with Ontario).

1. Start with equal pay provisions for temp employees.
Sounds great, but, what about companies like Fiera Foods who use almost exclusively temp workers brought in through an agency.

2. Take away financial incentive in using temp employees unless it is a legitimate need.
Meaning among other things, a workplace injury is recorded against the company and not the agency.

Here is a first hand account of how bad precarious employment is and why some employers use temp work through an agency, reported by Sara Mojtehedzadeh and Brendan Kennedy (Torstar).
