Ontario businesses want trumpy Doug Ford to kill leave for domestic abuse survivors, allow mandatory high heeled shoes

mostlysignssomeportents:

Ontario’s “A Plan for Fair Workplaces and Better Jobs” (AKA Bill 148)
legislates leave for domestic abuse survivors, provides for 10 days of
paid emergency leave, three weeks paid vacation after five years’
employment, and a ban on employers requiring their employees to wear
high heels.

The Retail Council of Canada and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce have joined forces to lobby Ontario premier Doug Ford (previously),
a laughable trumplefuck elected on promises to lower the cost of beer
to $1 and to eliminate mentions of homosexuality from the provincial
sex-ed curriculum (his dead brother, Rob, disgraced the province when,
as Mayor of Toronto, he embarked on a series of drug-fueled, racist,
misogynist escapades).

Ontario businesses are riding high, enjoying record profits and
luxuriating in the recent news that Ford had killed the province’s $15
minimum wage.
