Working for Workers Five Act 2024

The Working for Workers Five Act, 2024 brings significant advancements for Ontario’s workforce, ensuring protection and opportunities across various sectors.

* Skilled Trades: New pathways open up through expanded apprenticeship opportunities, a job-matching portal, and accessible routes for second-career seekers.

* Breaking Employment Barriers: By cutting red tape for internationally trained workers and simplifying credential systems, finding jobs becomes more efficient and inclusive.

* Frontline Heroes: Enhanced cancer coverage and presumptive PTSD benefits better safeguard our firefighters and more frontline workers.

* Support for Women: Mandatory menstrual products on large construction sites, higher cleanliness standards, and tougher protection against virtual harassment.

* Jobseekers and Employees: Transparent job postings, increased penalties for labour violations, and a rise in minimum wage improve fairness and working conditions.

Ontario’s workforce stands stronger with this comprehensive plan.
