Again, workers want jobs that are steady and give them the opportunity to progress. That generally means working under a collective agreement that gives them a voice at work. We very much encourage working with employers at bargaining tables to set the scene for long-term employment for those workers. It is critically important to have access to a union card; to be able to sit down at a bargaining table to discuss the issues that matter at a particular workplace; to have regular wage increases; and to have opportunities to advance at work. It's a tripartite situation we need to take on to bring employers and levels of government to the table to look at the conditions that might encourage full employment.
