Worker Solidarity Network

Network for workplace justice builds collective power through community organizing by and for precarious and non-unionized workers across BC. Know Your Rights resources provide information on employment rights; resources are available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Punjabi, and Tagalog. Membership is free and includes access to workshops and trainings. The Solidarity Hotline is staffed by solidarity stewards who answer general questions about worker rights and can help get individuals started on the complaints process; hours are 3 pm to 6 pm Thursdays. Individuals can also submit a Request Support form online to receive support from a legal advocate within two weeks, including representation in an Employment Standards Complaint; representation is based on availability and cannot be guaranteed. The Worker Solidarity Fund provides financial support from community donations to support workers who have lost their jobs for standing up for their rights at work, are contesting stolen wages, or are responding to racism and discrimination. Worker Wednesday organizing meetings to discuss campaigns and priorities of workers take place at 6 pm on the last Wednesday of every month and are open to everyone. Nonprofit society.
