I wish to comment on the proposed changes to the Employment Standards Act.

First, I cannot see any cost saving to not requiring employers to post the Employment Standards poster in the workplace.
This will not "put money in the pockets of Ontarians" since the employer is still required to have a copy of the poster on hand.
It will not "reduce red tape" because (supposedly) the employer still has to follow the Employment Standards Act rules.
No, this has to be a subtle encouragement to employers to mistreat their employees and keep them in the dark as to their rights.
This sickens me.
It's not fair, and it's not the Ontario I have been proud of, for so long.

Second, I am disappointed that overtime averaging will once again be allowed. In lower paid sectors, e.g. service industries, overtime averaging makes it easy for employers to take advantage of employees and vastly overwork them (compared to normal hours) one week and then give them next to no hours for the rest of the month. On paper it looks fair. But the body suffers. Workers get sick, and end up with LESS money in their pockets.
