Good Jobs
Good Jobs was chosen as a campaign at the Discernment Assembly on September 16, 2024 by a majority of members. This issue surfaced through a listening campaign that heard from hundreds of people about the pressing concerns in their life. Work should be dignifying, but for too many in our community, they experience barriers to good jobs. Nuances of the issue include low wages, lack of opportunities to get into the workforce, challenges with credential recognition, labour exploitation, unfair work practices, unsafe work conditions, and lack of knowledge of workers rights.
At this point we have convened a Research Action Team that meets monthly and will choose which specific sub-issues to advance.
