Looking for one final Halloween scare? Look no further than Nail Fix in the 6ix! 🎃🦇

The case of Nail Fix in the 6ix shows us how the Minister of Labour lets employers get away with very scary behaviour. Workers began filing complaints in 2025. First for unpaid wages, and then l deductions, and misclassification. As of today, none of the NINE outstanding payment orders has been paid. Over 12 nail technicians are collectively owed over $70,000 in stolen wages!

Support these workers by calling Nail Fix in the 6ix (416) 438-6888 and telling them to pay their wages.

What’s giving us the biggest scare this Halloween? WAGE THEFT! 🕷️👻

No one should go to work and not get paid for it. Yet, the Ontario Minister of Labour, Trevor Jones, continues to let this happen. Between 2023-2024, 97% of bosses in Ontario investigated for wage theft faced no f bosses investigated were penalized!

By not doing his job, the Minister of Labour has forced Workers’ Action Centre members to take matters into their own hands and become Bad-Boss-Busters!

☎️ If you’re experiencing wage theft, call the Workers’ Action Centre at (416) 531-0778 and become a Bad-Boss-Buster today.

THEY FOUGHT BACK. THEY WON.

LeBreton promised Adriana & Juan Pablo 30 hours/week. Instead, they went hungry and into debt while paying rent.

They sued and, after 3 years, won $11,500.

36 of 63 municipal candidates in Niagara-on-the-Lake, St. Catharines and Lincoln have signed the Migrant Worker Safety Pledge. Now they must act, no matter who wins the election.

Ontario must ensure safe housing, full labour protections and a coroner's inquest.

Sinhue Garcia. Fermin Soto Sanchez. Zenaida. Three lives lost. Four more workers seriously injured.

Migrant farmworkers are our neighbours. Looking out for them means standing with workers demanding change.

Today, we installed giant reflective signs along Niagara roads where migrant farmworkers have been killed or seriously injured. The signs light up in car headlights, marking the places where workers were simply trying to get home, buy groceries or visit friends.
