Report Copyright Violation | NEARLY HALF OF CANADA'S WORKFORCE IN "UNSTABLE JOBS": PARTTIME, CASUAL, TEMPORARY OR SELF EMPLOYED Deena Ladd, co-ordinator of the Workers' Action Centre and one of the forum panel's four members, said the workplace has been restructured in such a way that 40 per cent of Canada's workforce is now in unstable jobs – such as part-time, casual, self-employed or temporary work – that offer no job security, little pay protection and few benefits.
"Companies are taking full advantage of labour laws that do nothing to stop them from passing the costs of doing business onto workers," she said. "When the cost of flexibility is put on workers, we're in big trouble."

When the North American Union kicks in, and Canada goes bye-bye, you'll have to fight with Mexicans to get those $5/hour jobs too.
Just like us dopey Americans do now. |

They would be more inclined to be self employed and take chances.. |
