Freelancers start petition

Share

Freelance workers, as independent contractors and as a group of workers in precarious conditions, face great challenges when it comes to legal protection, recognition, compensation and rights over their work.

The Ontario government is currently undergoing a review of Employment Standards and Ontario Labour Relations Act through the Changing Workplaces Commission.

The CFU is calling on the Ontario government to implement all 43 recommendations submitted by Unifor, to improve minimum standards for independent contractors and freelance workers and has begun an online petition at canadianfreelanceunion.ca/petition.
