Episode 1: Unpaid work: Why making it illegal won’t make it stop

Sheila’s employer broke the law. But Sheila didn’t want to fight back. And she’s not alone. Workplace blitzs find that up to 75% of employers are violating basic workplace standards, but only a fraction of non-unionized employees take steps to enforce their rights. In this episode Kelly and Nadine talk to Josh Mandryk (Goldblatt Partners) and John No (Parkdale Legal Clinic) about the reasons why workers don’t come forward to vindicate their rights and what can be done to get employers to obey the law. Special guests: Mandy Wojick, Justin Amaral, Derrick McIntosh, Ada Roberts, Christine Mainville.
