Today on the show, we have an interview with Deena Ladd, she’s the Executive Director of the Workers Action Centre in Toronto. She’s here to talk about the minimum wage hike, and working conditions across Ontario. We also have Rebecca Gordon, a researcher from the University of Guelph, who focuses on Labour in the Hospitality Industry. Rebecca makes the case, that if restaurants want to survive, they should start investing as much in their employees as they do customers. And a very special interview with Dr. Patrick O’Byrne, he’s a professor of nursing at the University of Ottawa and his team has developed a home test for HIV.

September 23, 2018: Deena Ladd, co-founder of the Worker’s Action Centre in Toronto and coordinator for Ontario’s $15 and Fairness campaign.I wanted to talk to Deena because a group of workers here in Manitoba, including myself, are launching a grassroots Fight for $15 and Fairness campaign here to raise the minimum wage, improve working conditions, and increase access to unionization. Our campaign launch is Monday, September 24, 4:30 PM outside Portage Place. We also have two volunteer training sessions on October 3 and October 16 for people who want to learn more about the campaign, the history of the Fight for $15 movement and how to get more involved.Deena Ladd shares her experience as someone who has already been through this struggle, won $15 in Ontario as well as improved employment standards through Bill 148, and is now fighting hard against the potential rollback of Bill 148 which the Ontario Chamber of Commerce has been pressuring premier Doug Ford to do. Ontario’s minimum wage has been increasing incrementally and is currently at $14 with the final increase to occur on January 1st, 2019.Manitoba’s minimum wage is currently 11.15 and set to increase to 11.35 on October 1, 2018.For more information about Fight for $15 &amp; Fairness Manitoba visit www.manitobafor15.ca Twitter.com/manitobafor15 Facebook.com/Manitobafor15 http://rankandfile.ca/manitoba-is-ready-to-fight-for-15-and-fairness/For more information about the Worker's Action Centre and $15 and Fairness Ontario visit:http://workersactioncentre.org/ https://www.15andfairness.org/If you enjoyed this episode, consider donating a few dollars a month to help the show become sustainable! https://www.patreon.com/rfradioprairie
