Following up on the film screening of the WAGESTORIES film “The global Phase-Out Dilemma” with the Norwegian research team, we would like to invite the UP-BC community partners to an afternoon of zine-and-skill sharing between climate and labour organizers, grassroots publishing, and labour-climate solidarity.
The event is hosted by the Migrant Care Worker Precarity Project that examines the latest iterations of Canada’s in-home migrant care worker pilot programs including care workers’ experiences of labour precarity and exploitation and delayed permanent residence. We welcome care workers, advocates, policymakers, partners, and the public to join us for a day of sharing
Join the Migrant Care Workers Project researchers who will share findings from interviews with migrant care workers and FOIPPA requests on IRCC’s Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker 5-year pilot programs ending in June 2024. Learn from community members’ knowledge, experience, and questions related to changes that may occur as the current care
Join “But is it a good job?” report authors Iglika Ivanova and Dr. Kendra Strauss for a conversation about precarious employment and its unequal impacts on workers, families and communities in our province. Learn what precarious employment is, how widespread it is, and why it urgently needs to be addressed.
